I´m a sucker for crunchy almonds and these Roasted Spanish Marcona Almonds with Honey & Rosemary are no exception. Loaded with an array of flavors, they´re sweet & savory, they have a beautiful crunch to them and it all comes together in 30 minutes. I like to serve these almonds as a tapas appetizer next to a couple cold beers, but they´re also great for a quick snack.
For this recipe I used raw blanched marcona almonds, but you can use any type of almonds that you like. However, I do recommend you use marcona almonds. They have a heart-like shape to them and offer an incredible flavor & texture.
To make this recipe vegan, you can just substitute the honey for agave syrup. In this recipe I used 2 tablespoons of honey, you can replace it with 1 1/2 tablespoons of agave syrup. Since agave syrup is sweeter than honey, just add a little bit less.
What really takes these roasted almonds to the next-level is the extra virgin olive oil. The olive oil is what cooks the almonds through while they are roasting and gives them that incredible flavor. For this recipe I used an Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Apollo Olive Oil. This is their new ¨Miller´s Favorite¨. Basically the best EVOO I have tasted from Apollo. If you´re a fan of EVOO like me, you need this olive oil in your life.
