Herb Roasted Almonds & Pumpkin Seeds
PREHEAT oven to 350F | 180C. LINE sheet pan with parchment paper.
MIX all ingredients well until completely coated.
SPREAD on a sheet pan in a single layer.
ROAST in preheated oven for 7 – 10 mins until golden.
WATCH CLOSELY after 5 mins; they can burn quickly. Leave to cool on the sheet pan.
STORE in an airtight container; I store all my nuts + seeds in the freezer, both raw and roasted, to maintain maximum freshness.
Serving Ideas
atop Roasted Buttercup & Chickpea Soup.
atop Cabbage, Bok Choy & Radish Salad.
atop Spicy Roasted Pumpkin & Chickpea Salad
as a snack with drinks + apps.
*HERBS use mixed dried herbs or fresh, finely chopped mixed or single herbs.
MAKE AHEAD and double the batch, and freeze.
STORAGE I store all my nuts + seeds in the freezer to ensure they taste fresh. Nuts + seeds are full of healthful oils, and these oils are volatile and can turn rancid quickly; nuts are expensive, so I think the freezer space they take up is worth it.
