* % Daily Value shows how much one serving adds to a 2,000-calorie day. † Net carbs is not on US labels; it is total carbs minus fiber, allulose, erythritol and half of other sugar alcohols. "To taste" amounts are counted as written. Counted items (eggs, cloves, spoons) use the rounded amount shown in the ingredient list. Vitamins and minerals are from raw ingredients; cooking lowers some, especially vitamin C and folate. How this is calculated.
Steps
Heat the oven to 160 °C / 325 °F.
Toss the almonds with the oil, spices and salt in a bowl until evenly coated.
Spread on the sheet pan in one layer. Roast 12–14 minutes, stirring halfway.
Done looks like: Smell toasty. A cut almond is light tan inside, not white. Cool on the pan for 15 minutes before eating or storing.
Done looks like: Crunchy when cool. They soften while hot.
Equipment
Rimmed sheet pan (half sheet) $12–25
What to look for
- Heavy aluminum that does not warp in a hot oven
- Rim all the way round so juices stay in
Skip: Dark non-stick sheet pans; they burn the bottoms of vegetables.
Silicone spatula $5–12
What to look for
- One-piece (no seam where the head meets the handle)
- Stiff enough to scrape, safe on non-stick
Skip: Wooden spatulas for non-stick pans; they work but do not scrape as cleanly.
What goes wrong
| What | Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Bitter, dark almonds | Roasted too long or too hot. Nuts burn fast at the end. | Check at 10 minutes and cut one open. |
| Spices do not stick | Not enough oil, or tossed on the pan. | Toss in a bowl so every almond is shiny before roasting. |
Notes
Allergies: removing an allergen from the recipe does not remove it from your kitchen or from other products. Check labels for "may contain" warnings.
