A dish of these savory Provencal nuts are at home on any hors d’oeuvres plate. The spicy cayenne and rosemary pair nicely with a peach kir royaux aperitif.

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 15 minutes

Total Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 2 teaspoons dried rosemary, crushed
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 2 cups raw almonds

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Using a baking sheet with a lip, melt butter. Mix seasoning into the butter, and then toss in almonds. Bake seasoned nuts for about 10-12 minutes, stirring once, until toasted and fragrant. Remove from heat and serve warm or at room temperature.

Makes 4 servings.

Actually, my sister made these for Christmas gifts this year, and brought me some as a gift. And what a gift! These nuts are incredible little bites of deliciousness. She did make some adjustments to the recipe: use olive oil instead of butter, cut by 1/3-1/2 (so use 1-2 Tbl. oil) increase cook time to 20 min, stirring every 5 minutes add some kosher salt to taste after removing from oven She packaged the almonds in little glass gift containers with plastic lids. AWESOME! I can't wait to try making them myself for our next game night.
