Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Raw almonds
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Place the raw almonds in a medium mixing bowl.
Drizzle the olive oil over the almonds and toss until they are well coated.
Sprinkle the black pepper, sea salt, smoked paprika (if using), and garlic powder over the almonds. Toss again to combine evenly.
Spread the seasoned almonds in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even roasting. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
Remove the almonds from the oven once they are fragrant and lightly golden. Let them cool on the baking sheet for 10-15 minutes. They will crisp up as they cool.
Once cooled, transfer the black pepper almonds to an airtight container for storage or serve immediately as a snack.
