Maple Rosemary Roasted Almonds

Snacks · 25 min · Serves 6 · Easy · Best with Amber Rich maple syrup

Crunchy whole almonds tossed in maple syrup, fresh rosemary, and flaky sea salt, then roasted until glossy and golden. A savory-sweet snack that disappears fast at gatherings.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups raw whole almonds
  • ¼ cup Amber Rich maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 ½ tablespoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • ¾ teaspoon flaky sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, olive oil, rosemary, salt, black pepper, and cayenne.
  3. Add the almonds and stir until they’re evenly coated.
  4. Spread the almonds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Roast for 18–20 minutes, stirring every 6 minutes, until the syrup is bubbling and the almonds are deeply golden.
  6. Cool completely on the pan — they’ll crisp as they cool. Break apart and store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
Tip: Amber Rich maple syrup gives just enough caramel depth to balance the rosemary without overpowering the nuts. Don’t skip the parchment paper — the syrup turns to candy as it cools and will weld to a bare pan.
