🛒 Ingredients (Makes 4 Servings)
To make these Everything-Seasoned Almonds, you’ll need:
- 200g raw almonds
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp everything bagel seasoning (or mix of sesame seeds, dried garlic, dried onion, poppy seeds, and sea salt)
- ½ tsp smoked paprika (optional, for extra flavor)
- ¼ tsp black pepper

🔥 How to Make Everything-Seasoned Almonds
Follow these simple steps to make your own crunchy, flavorful almonds at home.
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Coat the Almonds
In a large mixing bowl, combine the raw almonds with olive oil, honey (if using), and everything seasoning. Stir well to ensure that every almond is evenly coated.
Step 3: Spread and Roast
Spread the seasoned almonds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast them in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, stirring halfway through to prevent burning.
Step 4: Let Them Cool
Once roasted, remove the almonds from the oven and let them cool for about 10 minutes. This allows the flavors to settle and gives the almonds their signature crunch.
Step 5: Enjoy or Store
Once completely cool, transfer the almonds to an airtight container. They will stay fresh for up to 2 weeks at room temperature.
