1 cup Marcona almonds Shop
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
1 tsp honey or maple syrup Shop
0.5 tsp salt
0.25 tsp black pepper

Instructions

1 Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Ensure your Marcona almonds are ready to go for the next step.
2 In a medium bowl, combine the Marcona almonds, olive oil, finely chopped fresh rosemary, honey or maple syrup, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together thoroughly for about 1-2 minutes until the almonds are evenly coated with the oil and seasonings, releasing their fragrant aroma.
3 Spread the seasoned Marcona almonds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. This ensures they roast evenly and develop a delightful crispness without steaming.
4 Bake for 8-10 minutes, stirring once, until fragrant and just golden at the edges. Marcona almonds are usually sold already fried, so they brown quickly.
5 Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the rosemary Marcona almonds cool completely on the sheet for about 10-15 minutes. They will become wonderfully crisp as they cool. Once cooled, serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.

Tips & Notes

Marcona almonds are usually sold already fried and salted. Check yours and cut back the 0.5 tsp salt if they are salted.
Pre-roasted Marconas need much less time than raw almonds. Check them from about 8 minutes on.
Chop the rosemary very finely so it clings to the almonds instead of falling off on the pan.
