Method
Directions
Prepare the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure that the almonds roast evenly.
Mix Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, combine the Marcona almonds, olive oil, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, sea salt, fresh rosemary, garlic powder, and lemon zest. Stir until the almonds are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
Spread on Baking Sheet
Spread the seasoned almonds in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This will help prevent sticking and allow for even roasting.
Roast the Almonds
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the almonds for 10-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and fragrant. Stir halfway through to ensure even roasting.
Cool and Season
Once roasted, remove the almonds from the oven and let them cool slightly. Adjust seasoning with black pepper to taste.
Serve
Transfer the spicy Marcona almonds to a serving dish and enjoy as a snack or appetizer.
