Roast almonds with thyme & orange salt

Roast almonds with thyme and orange salt is a delightful snack that combines the nutty flavor of almonds with the refreshing taste of orange zest and the earthiness of fresh thyme. This easy-to-make recipe is perfect for a quick snack or for serving at gatherings, offering a unique twist on traditional roasted nuts.

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. Prepare Almonds: Place the almonds in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
3. Seasoning Mix: In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, paprika, orange zest, salt, and chopped fresh thyme. Mix well to ensure all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
4. Coat Almonds: Pour the seasoning mix over the almonds and stir well with a spoon or spatula until all the almonds are thoroughly coated with the mixture.
5. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the coated almonds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Try to ensure the almonds are evenly spaced for uniform roasting.
6. Roast: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Roast the almonds for about 10-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and aromatic. Be sure to stir the almonds halfway through the cooking time to ensure even roasting.
7. Cool: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the almonds cool completely on the baking sheet. They will continue to crisp up as they cool.
8. Serve or Store: Once cooled, transfer the almonds to a serving bowl if enjoying immediately, or store them in an airtight container for up to a week.

Tips:

- Ensure your oven is preheated to 350°F (175°C) before you start roasting the almonds.

- Mix the almonds thoroughly with olive oil, paprika, orange zest, salt, and thyme to ensure each almond is evenly coated.

- Spread the almonds in a single layer on a baking sheet to ensure even roasting.

- Stir the almonds occasionally as they roast to prevent burning and to promote even cooking.

- Allow the almonds to cool completely on the baking sheet before storing them in an airtight container to keep them crispy.
