Roasted Almonds

A simple yet nutritious grab-and-go snack.

Made with just a few pantry staples, these Roasted Almonds come together quickly and work well as a grab-and-go snack, lunchbox addition, or crunchy topping for salads and bowls.

Roasting almonds helps enhance their natural nutty flavour and crisp texture, while garlic powder and salt add a savoury twist. This recipe is simple, customizable, and super easy to make at home.

Whether enjoyed on their own or paired with fruit for a more balanced snack, these roasted almonds are a simple and nutritious option for busy days.

Here’s what you’ll need for this recipe:

Almonds: The base of the recipe that provides healthy fats, plant-based protein, fibre, vitamin E, and magnesium for a satisfying and nourishing snack.

Oil: Helps the seasonings coat the almonds evenly while supporting a crisp roasted texture.

Salt: Enhances the flavour and balances the nuttiness of the almonds.

Garlic Powder: Adds savoury flavour and depth while complementing the natural roasted flavour of the almonds.

You’ll also need:

  • Mixing bowl
  • Measuring spoons
  • Baking sheet or tray
  • Parchment paper (optional)
  • Spoon or spatula

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  2. Season the almonds: In a mixing bowl, toss together the almonds, oil, salt, and garlic powder until evenly coated.
  3. Arrange on baking tray: Spread the almonds evenly onto a baking sheet or tray in a single layer.
  4. Roast the almonds: Bake for 15–17 minutes, stirring halfway through if desired, until lightly golden and fragrant.
  5. Cool and enjoy: Allow the almonds to cool completely. As they cool, you may hear them crackle as they crisp up.

  • Keep a close eye on the almonds near the end of the baking time, as nuts can burn quickly.
  • Feel free to customize the flavour with spices like paprika, black pepper, chili powder, or cinnamon.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a longer shelf life.
  • These almonds work well as a snack on their own or added to salads, grain bowls, or snack mixes.
  • Pairing almonds with fruit can help create a more balanced and satisfying snack.
