We hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas. Santa brought our gift early this year, our new kitchen so we spent most of the day watching movies in our pj’s. It was nice to relax. We did cook up a nice dinner and were able to talk to our friend’s and family. It was a great day. If you are all sugared out from eating too many Christmas cookies, I have a healthy recipe for you to enjoy today-rosemary roasted almonds.
I love snacking on nuts, they are delicious and nutritious. Nuts are a great source of protein, contain heart healthy fats, and they are easy to eat on the go. I like eating plain nuts, but roasted nuts are even better. Candied Pecans are my favorite, but these rosemary roasted almonds are a close second. Whole almonds are seasoned with fresh rosemary, a dash of chili powder, salt and then placed in the oven to roast.
Our house smelled amazing while the almonds were roasting away. I sampled a few nuts as soon as I removed them from the oven and was very pleased with the results. The rosemary compliments the almonds nicely. These rosemary roasted almonds make a terrific game day snack or party appetizer. I am going to put a bowl of rosemary roasted almonds out for our New Year’s party. I know our guests will enjoy munching on them.

What a great idea! I would never have thought to pair almonds with rosemary.
we have been relaxing and watching movies too. it is wonderful!
I just made the cinnamon sugar roasted almonds but these look A LOT healthier. Perhaps after the New Year 🙂
YUM! I love rosemary AND almonds! I usually do spiced almonds, not sugary and NOW when I get home and have fresh rosemary — I must make these! Thanks for the yummy recipe! Glad y’all had a relaxing Christmas! 🙂

Hi,
I love almonds too and everything related, but never tried adding the rosemary to them! Will try next time 😉 Thanks for sharing!
yum these look great! I need to eat almonds more often. eat almond butter all the time but not the real thing very often. these look like a good way to spice them up a bit
Great recipe! I just have to share… our grocery store was out of Rosemary during Christmas! No fresh. No dried. NOTHING!! I was in panic mode. 🙂 Next time I will have to stock up.. especially when I make these!!
Oooohhh, rosemary toasted almonds would balance out all of those sweets very nicely. Love rosemary & I love almonds. Thanks for this recipe Maria! XO
These look amazing Maria!!
I would love to plate these with a freshly made meal or just enjoy them as a great snack. Thanks for the idea.
Oh my, these sound delicious. I’m adding them to my New Year’s party menu, too. So glad you joined in on Mingle Monday! Have a great holiday week!
Mmm these are the perfect savory treat to have sitting on an appetizer table! Delicious.
OMG those look delicious for my lazy movie days. It’s good to hear you had a great and relaxing Christmas.
Rosemary roasted nuts are some of our favorites, too!
Roasted almonds and rosemary, what’s not to love? Great recipe.
Ooh I just love these for the perfect holiday snack idea 🙂
Yum! I love alomnds plain, but roasted takes them to the top. Rosemary would be delicious!
Never thought of combining nuts and rosemary. Sounds like a great combo of flavors!
I love having roasted almonds around – they are such a great snack and your rosemary version sounds delicious!
Have to combine almonds and rosemary next time I have a batch to roast – Friday I roasted a pint jar full so we have enough for a while – but these sound wonderful. A Happy and Healthy New Year to you both.
We love almonds but never thought of adding rosemary. For sure we will try it. thanks for the sharing
These sound wonderful Maria. I LOVE snacking on nuts, and almonds are my all time favorite!
I love nuts and rosemary. But I still have to make it a little bit sweet. Rosemary, cayenne, and a touch of brown sugar…
Perfect snack for anytime! I can’t imagine eating just one handful.
A day in PJs? Sounds good. A day in PJs watching movies and eating these rosemary roasted almonds? Divine! Glad you had a great day!
I think I need a healthy snack after all the junk I’ve eaten lately! These look perfect 🙂 Glad you had a great, relaxing holiday.
Oh, that looks good. I love rosemary.
Hubby and I watch movies in our PJs every Christmas Day. So relaxing!
Nothing like a great bowl of roasted Almonds! Love your recipe 🙂
These look lovely! I think rosemary goes with everything. 🙂
A fantastic snack! Perfect to add to the New Year’s table.
These almonds look fabulous! I need more savory sweets. I’m kind of done with sweets after the holidays, so this is a lovely change of pace!
great recipe. i think i’ll use even more rosemary next time! i served them with a cheese platter and they were a hit! thanks maria
I am always fine with more rosemary:) Glad you liked the almonds!
Sounds crazy but try rolling your almonds in lightly whipped egg whites then the spices. Bake as usual might want to butter the pan. After they done, it adds an extra crunch and shine to the nuts.
Great tip, thanks!
