Almonds, Almonds, Almonds! A high-fat food that's good for your health? That's not an oxymoron, its almonds. Almonds are high in monounsaturated fats, the same type of health-promoting fats as are found in olive oil, which have been associated with reduced risk of heart disease. Almonds are also readily available all year round. Being a teacher, I pack my lunch everyday and a handful of almonds is a tasty quick snack on the go. Recently, I got a little bored with a plain roasted almond and needed a quick and easy fix to tempt my palate. Insert roasted rosemary almonds. This recipe is quick, easy, super tasty, and still helathy! My husband loves when I make these and takes a bunch to work!
So here is the recipe! I originally found this recipe in the September 2009 issue of Cooking Light magazine. I used to find things that I might want to make if I have time and tear them out to put in my recipe binder. Do you do that? Well at least I did come back to it!
As you can see the amonds are easy to prepare and last so you can enjoy a snack with a little flare! I thought why not pair it with a crsip and tasty bottle of champagne! I found the Texidor Sparkling Wine Cava Brut during the Bevmo 5 Cent Wine sale last year. We were looking for a bubbly for our July wedding. I loved this Brut because it was easy to sip and would please all. At about $ 10-12 a bottle it is reasonable! Try it with the almonds today!
