Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 tsp. hot water
  • 1/2 tsp. fine grained salt
  • 1 1/2 c almonds
  • 3 thyme springs, leaves only
  • 1 rosemary sprig, leaves removed and chopped finely
  • 2 tsp. olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375
  2. Place almonds, thyme, and rosemary in medium-sized mixing bowl
  3. Put water and salt in small jar. Twist on lid and shake until salt dissolves. Then, pour over almonds and herbs.
  4. Use fingers or a wooden spoon to mix ingredients.
  5. Spread on cookie sheet or in cast iron skillet.
  6. Roast for 15-20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes.
  7. While almonds are roasting, wash and dry the mixing bowl.
  8. After 15 minutes, cut open one almond to see if inside is golden brown. When it is, almonds are ready. Almonds will burn quickly, so be vigilant.
  9. Remove from oven and pour back into mixing bowl. Add olive oil, stir, and allow to cool. Almonds will crisp up as they cool.
