How to Make Almonds Great Appetizer With Drinks

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Spread 1 cup of whole almonds in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  3. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly toasted and fragrant, stirring halfway through.
  4. While the almonds are baking, melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat until sizzling.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of dried rosemary, 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes.
  6. Add the toasted almonds to the butter mixture and toss gently to coat evenly.
  7. Let the almonds cool slightly before serving. The flavors will deepen as they cool.
  8. For longer storage, seal the cooled almonds in an airtight container. They'll keep for up to 1 month in the refrigerator or 3 months in the freezer.
