Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups raw almonds
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon liquid smoke
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the raw almonds and olive oil. Stir until the almonds are evenly coated.
In a small bowl, mix together the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, kosher salt, and cayenne pepper.
Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over the almonds in the mixing bowl. Add the liquid smoke, and stir until all the almonds are thoroughly coated with the seasoning.
Spread the seasoned almonds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the almonds in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, stirring every 8-10 minutes to ensure even toasting.
Remove the almonds from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. They will crisp up as they cool.
Once cooled, transfer the smoked almonds to an airtight container for storage. They can be kept at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
