One of our aunts loves snacking. Sweet snacks. Savoury snacks. Anything that she can nibble. She doesn’t have a big appetite for meals but she will snack constantly! Our aunt normally has a bowl or two of some moreish treats on her kitchen counter, often including some type of nut. Now, instead of spending oodles buying specialty flavoured almonds, I decided to try my hand at making my own.
For this recipe, I chose the woodsy, piney rosemary and dusky, spicy paprika, as well as a smattering of salt and a drop of olive oil. Once baked, the almonds are nicely crunchy and flavourful – just be sure to store them in an airtight container, and eat within a few days for the best flavour.
I’m planning on visiting her in New York City in April, and I’m pretty sure these flavourful almonds will be a hit!
