Ingredients

Scale

Almonds

  • 1 cup raw whole almonds

Garlic Butter Mixture

  • 1 Tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/8 tsp coarse salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) to prepare for slow roasting the almonds.
  2. Melt Butter: In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat to avoid burning.
  3. Add Garlic and Salt: Once the butter is melted, quickly stir in the garlic powder and coarse salt. Stir for about 30 seconds until the mixture is well incorporated, though it may become slightly clumpy.
  4. Coat Almonds: Add the raw whole almonds to the garlic butter mixture and stir for about 30 seconds, ensuring all almonds are evenly coated with the flavorful mixture.
  5. Roast Almonds: Spread the coated almonds in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven at 300°F (150°C) for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even roasting and to prevent burning.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove the almonds from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet before serving or storing them.

Notes

  • Keep an eye on the almonds while roasting as oven temperatures can vary and nuts can burn quickly.
  • Use fresh garlic powder for the best flavor; you can substitute with fine minced fresh garlic if preferred, but reduce quantity to avoid overpowering.
  • Store the roasted almonds in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks to maintain freshness.
  • For a spicier twist, sprinkle some cayenne powder with the garlic powder before roasting.
