Recipe Ingredients

• 3 cups Raw Whole Almonds
• 2 tbsp Butter, melted
• 1 tbsp Dried Dill
• 1 tsp Garlic Powder
• 1 tsp Onion Powder
• 1 tsp Dried Parsley
• 1/2 tsp Dried Chives
• 1/2 tsp Smoked Paprika
• 1/2 tsp Salt
• 1/4 tsp Black Pepper

How To Make

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a small bowl, stir together the dried dill, garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley, dried chives, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the ranch seasoning blend.

Step 3

Toss the almonds with the melted butter in a large bowl until evenly coated. Sprinkle the ranch seasoning blend over the almonds and toss again until every nut is well covered.

Step 4

Spread the seasoned almonds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 5

Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the almonds are toasted, fragrant, and the coating looks dry.

Step 6

Let the almonds cool completely on the baking sheet. They will become extra crunchy as they cool. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

Tips

Mix the Seasoning Before Adding It

Don’t just dump all the spices directly onto the buttered almonds one by one. Mix the full seasoning blend together in a separate bowl first, then add it all at once.

This way every pinch of the mixture has the same ratio of dill, garlic, onion, and everything else. If you sprinkle them individually, some almonds end up with all the garlic powder and others get mostly dill.

Warm the Almonds Before Tossing

Spread the raw almonds on the baking sheet and pop them in the oven for about 3-4 minutes while it preheats. Warm almonds grab onto melted butter much better than room temperature ones.

When butter hits a cold almond, it starts to solidify almost immediately and the seasoning won’t stick as well. A slightly warm surface keeps the butter liquid long enough for the spices to really cling on.

Don’t Skip the Halfway Stir

When you stir the almonds at the halfway mark, do it gently with a spatula and then spread them back out into a single layer. The almonds on the edges of the baking sheet toast faster than the ones in the center.

Stirring moves those edge almonds toward the middle and gives the center ones a turn near the hotter spots. This is what gets you an even roast across the whole batch instead of some being pale and others being too dark.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know when the almonds are done roasting?

You will notice they smell toasty and fragrant, and the seasoning coating will look dry rather than wet or shiny. They should be lightly golden but not dark brown.

Keep in mind that the almonds will still feel a little soft when they first come out of the oven. They firm up and get that satisfying crunch as they cool down, so do not overbake them thinking they are not done yet.
