Brown Butter, Sage, and Rosemary Roasted Almonds

Sharing is caring!

Today I am sharing the recipe for Brown Butter, Sage, and Rosemary Roasted Almonds, a savory snack that can be given as a holiday gift or served at a party. The brown butter adds a richness to the crunchy almonds, while the sage, rosemary, and salt are loaded with flavor and create a crust around the nuts. It's the type of snack that keeps you coming back for more - whenever I walk by the jar I can't help but grab a handful.

When I was in Napa last month I had sage and rosemary roasted almonds at Robert Sinskey Vineyards and they paired wonderfully with red wines, and I was inspired to make the seasoned nuts at home. You could package these roasted almonds up with a nice bottle of red and it would be the perfect hostess gift.

This recipe is easily scalable, making a double or triple batch won't take any more time. Plus, roasted almonds can be made in under 20 minutes, and the process doesn't make much of a mess. It's the type of last minute holiday recipe that just might come to your rescue.
