Recently I was telling Emma about my bar snack turned homemade snack obsession, Rosemary Almonds. She suggested I share the recipe on the blog, but I was scared to because it’s a simple recipe and I didn’t want you guys to make fun of me. (So please don’t. K? Thanks!) With that said, this IS my favorite snack recipe at the moment, so I’m excited to share it with you! If you like Rosemary as much as I do, I know you’ll love it. I ordered these four times from a local bar, and I kept bugging Jeremy to go there for more until he was like, “Make them at home!” and I was like, “Ohhhh yeah. That sounds easy.” Why didn’t I think of that?
Almonds are, well, super boring, but these few ingredients are a complete game changer. It’s like a makeover show where you’re pretty sure they made the person look way worse in the “before” segment just so the reveal could be super dramatic. Yep, that’s these almonds! From eww to wooooo in 15 minutes.
Rosemary Roasted Almonds
2 cups raw almonds (skin on)
1 tablespoon coconut oil (*or olive oil)
1 tablespoon rosemary, chopped
1 sprinkle garlic powder
1 teaspoon sea salt
Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Then place in a large, flat baking dish (I usually use a casserole dish). Make sure that your almonds are in a single layer for baking. Bake 15 minutes at 350°. I usually take them out and give them a stir about halfway through (because coconut oil is hard at first, stirring helps the oil to be evenly distributed). Let your almonds cool completely before enjoying them. They will be weird and chewy until they are cool.
*Note: I am using coconut oil because I’m doing Whole 30 at the moment. I don’t really notice the flavor of coconut oil, but I’ve heard people say they don’t like it. You can totally use olive oil instead.
Thanks for letting me share my super simple recipe. I have made them about five times recently and don’t see myself stopping anytime soon.
If you make our recipes, please share photos with us on Instagram with #mybeautifulmess. We LOVE seeing what you guys make!
Cheers! xx. Elsie

The benefits of Rosemary go beyond flavour. It helps protect us against EMF/Wifi radiation damage. The last Rosemary roasted almond recipe I tried also included maple syrup, takes it to a new level!
This looks really yummy! I think I’m going to try it soon.

MMM these look delicious, always looking for ways to change up my go-to snacks, like almonds!
I’m Day 25 on W30. Found it soooo easy to do. A fav I made was TJ raw unsalted sunflower seeds in my electric fry pan with the coconut oil. Add any kind of spice or herb. Made them with Penzey’s garlic powder; salt and pepper; or curry. Nice snack or added on top of my awesome egg-crepe. OK, now I’m hungry!!
I made these tonight. Yummmmmm!!
I’ve been wanting to try roasting my own almonds, so this recipe really came at the perfect time.
yum! almonds are such a good snack!

I love simple recipes – the simpler the better as far as I’m concerned 😀
Tracy Shutterbean does snack ideas so easy they barely qualify as recipes but they’re amazing too!
Looking forward to making these later, thanks xx

I love simple recipes! Makes me actually want to make them 🙂 I will definitely be making these as I love almonds and have a huge rosemary bush that could use some trimming. Thanks for sharing!
Mmmmmmmmm. These look super yummy and healthy. I love healthy stuff and find its so much fun too make your own food. I wrote a blog about a quinoa, pomegranate and haloumi salad. I also posted one yesterday about a Berry Green Smoothie.
Could this be any more simple and delish?!:)

Hehe I LOVE whiskey ;)… Your whiskey sour recipe is possibly my favorite of all time Elsie!!! I’m going to make these this weekend and pair them with an Old Fashioned. I’m considering trying whole 30 in Feb. Trying not to overindulge in cocktails/wine this month as an excuse… Probably defeats the purpose. Lol
You’re doing Whole30?!?! I saw this recipe in my feed and was like, “Oh, yeah, we made that last week because we are doing the Whole30…” haha. It would be cool to see any Whole30-approved recipes you’ve come up with! We’ve already made these almonds as well as fried (baked) chicken, nachos with chili, guacamole, and homemade baked potato chips, and lemon and caper salmon. I’m having the hardest time with lunches and snacks right now!

I’m totally going to try this!! It sounds amazing!!
Elsie, welcome to the Whole30! Let us know if we can help, and best of luck to you.

Hi Helen,
Oh wow! That sounds good!

Hi Kristina,
I am taking a little break from drinking cocktails at the moment, but I bet they’d be good with and Old Fashioned (which is pretty much my favorite cocktail of all time!). But if you don’t like Whiskey, hmmmm…. something lemony maybe like a Sidecar?
xx- Elsie
PS- thanks for being so sweet!!!
Thanks Hattie!! I appreciate that! 🙂 I just took them at home over the weekend!
