BHA & BHT Free Rosemary Roasted Almonds
Roasted almonds from a bag often come loaded with preservatives like BHA and BHT to extend shelf life — which means even a "simple" snack can be anything but clean. This version keeps things refreshingly straightforward: raw almonds, a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil, fresh rosemary, sea salt, and a little black pepper are all you need to create something genuinely craveable. The low-and-slow roast at 325°F coaxes out a deep, nutty richness while the rosemary crisps up into something almost magical. That optional pinch of garlic powder adds a subtle savory backbone that makes it hard to stop at a handful. Letting them cool on the pan is the secret to that satisfying crunch — patience pays off here. These are the kind of snacks you'll want to keep in a jar on the counter for grazing, topping salads, or setting out when guests arrive.
