Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups raw almonds
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and brown sugar. Mix well to form a spice blend.
Add the raw almonds to the bowl and toss thoroughly to coat them evenly with the spice mixture.
Spread the coated almonds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even roasting. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
Remove the almonds from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. They will crisp up as they cool.
Once cooled, store the chili spiced almonds in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
