Roasted Almonds (Printable Version)
Crispy, golden almonds roasted to perfection with optional seasonings for irresistible crunch and flavor.
# What You Need:

02 - 1 tbsp olive oil (optional)
03 - 1/2 tsp sea salt
04 - 1/4 tsp smoked paprika or ground cayenne (optional)
# How To Make:
01 - Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a mixing bowl, toss the almonds with olive oil (if using), salt, and desired spices until thoroughly coated.
03 - Spread the almonds in a single, even layer on the prepared baking sheet.
04 - Roast in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until lightly golden and fragrant.
