ROSEMARY CHIPOTLE ROASTED ALMONDS (VEGAN; GLUTEN, SOY, & DAIRY FREE)

Rosemary Chipotle Roasted Almonds (Vegan; Gluten, Soy, & Dairy Free) image

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon chipotle seasoning (for a salt-free blend I like Mrs. Dash Southwest Chipotle)
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped + pinch more after roasting
1 pinch cayenne or chili powder, to taste
1 pinch salt, to taste
1 pinch black pepper, to taste
1 cup almonds (I used smoked but raw, roasted, salted, plain, smoked; use what you have and prefer)

Steps:

Preheat oven to 325F.
Combine all ingredients except for the almonds in a bowl and mix.
Add the almonds to the oil and spice mixture, and toss to combine.
Spread almonds in a single layer on a parchment, foil, or Silpat-lined cookie sheet (for easier cleanup) and roast for 15-20 minutes until lightly toasted, or until desired toasting and browning level is reached.
Allow to cool slightly and serve.
Top with a pinch more of finely chopped rosemary after roasting, if desired.
Will keep in an airtight container or jar for week(s).
Double, triple, or quadruple recipe as desired if making for a party or making extra in advance for leftovers, snacks and lunch boxes, for gifts, etc.
