Toasted Rosemary Marcona Almonds

Fresh rosemary commingles with tangy lemon zest and smoked paprika to give these almonds a ton of flavor. If you can’t find Marcona, regular raw almonds work well, too.

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp loosely packed fresh rosemary leaves
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 3/4 tsp coarse sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 1/2 cups unseasoned blanched Marcona almonds (8 oz)
  • 2 1/2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil (TRY: Castillo de Canena Picual Biodynamic Extra-Virgin Olive Oil)

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 325°F. On a cutting board, combine rosemary, lemon zest and salt; chop until rosemary is in tiny pieces. Transfer to a small bowl. Stir in paprika.

2. In a medium bowl, combine almonds and oil. Sprinkle with salt mixture; toss to coat. Spread on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast, stirring every 5 minutes and watching carefully in the last 5 minutes to prevent burning, until lightly browned, 10 to 15 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes. Serve warm.

MAKE AHEAD: Cool completely. Store in an airtight container up to 5 days. Reheat on a baking sheet in a 300°F oven for 5 minutes.
