Sometimes You Feel Like a Nut…..

Anybody else remember that old Almond Joy commercial?  A fun little tune that also describes my life over the last couple of weeks.  All wonderful, exciting events, albeit a little nutty.

In addition to Jack & Charlie’s graduations, I’m working on some interesting, new KilKenney Kitchen catering and meal preparation projects.  I’ll share more soon!

So, what better recipe to share when life is a little nuts than these wonderful Roasted Almonds with Rosemary.  Savory, crunchy and delicious, they are the perfect snack.  I made a boatload for a party this weekend and had a hard time keeping everyone’s hands off.

Total Time 40 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 pound whole raw almonds
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1.5 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary chopped
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees
  • Mix the chili powder, salt and dried rosemary in a small bowl
  • Place the almonds in a bowl and drizzle with the olive oil and mix
  • Add the spice mixture to the almonds, stirring as you go until the almonds are covered with the oil and the spice mixture
  • Spread the almonds on a baking sheet in a single layer
  • Bake for 10 minutes, remove from the oven and stir the almonds
  • Return the pan to the oven and bake until the almonds are toasty, but not burnt. This will take between 10 and 15 minutes more. Check the almonds every 5 minutes. When they are done they will be a bit darker and smell toasty and delicious!
  • Serve at your next party, in your kitchen or pack them for snacks. You'll be making more before you know it!
