Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups raw almonds
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon chipotle chili powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon granulated garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for extra heat)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, chipotle chili powder, smoked paprika, granulated garlic, ground cumin, maple syrup, kosher salt, and cayenne pepper (if using). Whisk until well combined to form a flavorful marinade.
Add the raw almonds to the mixing bowl and toss to coat them evenly with the spice marinade.
Spread the coated almonds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Roast in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, stirring the almonds halfway through to ensure even toasting. Keep a close eye on them in the last few minutes to avoid burning.
Remove the almonds from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. They will become crisp as they cool.
Once cooled, transfer the almonds to an airtight container for storage. They can be stored at room temperature for up to two weeks (if they last that long!).
Enjoy your chipotle roasted almonds as a snack, salad topping, or a party appetizer!
