When I came across roasted almonds on the blog, Shutterbean, I new it would be the perfect accompaniment to the bourbon fudge. I mean it would be rude not to provide a balanced gift of sweet and salty.
Spicy Rosemary Almonds
1 16 oz raw bag of almonds
1.5 T olive oil
1.5 t chili powder
1.5 T chopped fresh rosemary
1 t sea salt
1. Preheat oven to 300 F. I brunt the first batch and reduced the temperature from Tracy's 325 and found success.
2. Toss the everything in a bowl ensuring the almonds are evenly coated.
3. Spread across a foil lined baking sheet.
4. Bake in oven for 10 to 20 minutes. Mine were well toasted after 10, so I removed them from the oven. You'll want to watch them closely as these guys can turn on you quite quickly.
5. Cool to room temperature so you can package them to share with friends. Or you can keep them for yourself in an airtight container. Your secret is safe with me.
