Are you ready for the easiest and best snack ever? Let me introduce you to Roasted Almonds! These are a satisfying, simple, healthy snack to have on hand in your pantry.
Around here, we roast almonds all the time! It seems that I can never keep the container full. Super easy to throw in your purse or grab a handful to munch on after a workout.
Add these roasted almonds to haystack cookies, this peanut butter puppy chow, my old-fashioned caramel corn, or my Christmas puppy chow! I use these roasted almonds in my milk chocolate almond bark, and it is a showstopping recipe!
Roasting will not decrease the nutritional value of the almond, unless you burn them. Roasting just adds a crazy, nutty, salty flavor to the almonds that is SO DELICIOUS!
They take literally 2 minutes to prepare and throw into the oven. Then all you have to do is bake them for 18-20 minutes and let them cool. Making this the easiest snack recipe ever.
the perfect snack
I love to create little containers of snacks that we can take out and about during the week. They are super healthy and filling, so instead of eating chips from the vending machine at my desk during the week, I whip these snack packs up for snacks during the week. It takes me about 30 minutes on the weekend to throw together enough for the whole week!

Here are some combinations of "snack packs" that I make.
- Handful of roasted almonds, handful of dried cranberries, and a sliver of brie cheese. This one is my personal FAVORITE.
- Handful of roasted almonds, a few slices of cheddar cheese, and a sliced granny smith apple with apple dip.
- Handful of roasted almonds, a few slices of smoked gouda, a few whole seed crackers, and a handful of grapes.
- These roasted almonds are also a perfect and welcome addition to any charcuterie board!!
- You can also add a handful of these roasted almonds to any cookie recipe. They are especially delicious chopped and added to this chocolate crinkle cookie recipe!
- Chop up these almonds and use them as a coating on these bite-sized cheese balls.
- Salted roasted almonds, along with honey cashews, are the perfect snack bites to include in DIY lunchables!
The options for these "snack packs" are endless, so let your imagination run wild!
