Dairy Free Rosemary Roasted Almonds
Salty, herby, and deeply satisfying, these oven-roasted almonds are the kind of snack that disappears faster than you expect. Raw almonds get tossed in extra-virgin olive oil with fresh rosemary, sea salt, black pepper, and a whisper of garlic powder before hitting a 325°F oven until golden and fragrant. The whole process is naturally free of any dairy — no butter, no cream, no hidden milk solids — so what you see is genuinely what you get. Roasting at a lower temperature gives the rosemary time to crisp up beautifully without scorching, and that final cool-down on the pan is where the almonds develop their satisfying crunch. They work just as well tucked into a trail mix as they do sitting in a bowl at a dinner party. Store-bought flavored nuts can be surprisingly tricky to vet for dairy derivatives, so making your own with five straightforward pantry ingredients is a genuinely smart move. Once you smell these coming out of the oven, you'll wonder why you ever bought the packaged kind.
