These Pesto Roasted Almonds make the perfect snack, hostess gift and even appetizer for a party. They will be gone before you know it!
I might add these could not be easier or taste more amazing. I love almonds, and I love pesto so I wanted to try them together. I didn’t quite know what to expect but they blew me away. Don’t they look delicious!?
Pesto Roasted Almonds
Ingredients
- 1-6oz. can Almonds, Lightly Salted
- 1/2 cup Pesto
- 2 Tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- In a small bowl add the almonds and pesto and mix well. Let the almonds sit in the pesto for about 10 minutes.
- Peheat the oven to 225 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside
- Stir in the Parmesan
- Transfer the almonds to the prepared pan, leaving any excess pesto in the bowl
- The more pesto on the almonds the longer it will take to bake them. If you wand more, which tastes amazing, just make sure you bake them longer
- Spread almonds in a single layer on the baking sheet. Bake for 30 minutes {or longer}, stir every 15 minutes, until the pesto is dried and the almonds are crunchy
- Remove from the oven and allow the almonds to cool completely, then store in an air-tight container
- You can place them in freezer-safe bags if you would like to make them in advance
