Olive Oil Roasted Nuts

Anyone else get the 3 pm snackies? These olive oil roasted nuts are the perfect healthy snack to keep you going until dinner. They also make a fantastic addition to charcuterie platters, salads and other dishes.

We use almonds for this recipe, however you can use the nut or legume of your choice. Consider walnuts, hazelnuts, cashews, etc.

You can also vary the spices used. We loved a good dusting of garlic and chili powder, but you can use cayanne, pepper, onion power - the list goes on.

INGREDIENTS

  • 3 cups whole raw almonds (or other nut)

  • 2 tablespoons Grove 45 extra virgin olive oil

  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt

  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1/4 teaspoon chili powder

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.

  2. In a bowl, toss together all ingredients until nuts are well coated.

  3. Spread into a single layer on a large baking sheet.

  4. Roast for 10 minutes , stir, and continue roasting for another 5-8 minutes or until lightly browned. Keep a close eye on them as they can burn rather quickly.
