Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups raw almonds
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoons onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 0.25 teaspoons liquid smoke
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, ground black pepper, kosher salt, honey, and liquid smoke. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined.
Add the raw almonds to the bowl and toss them thoroughly to ensure they are evenly coated with the spice mixture.
Spread the coated almonds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overlapping for even roasting.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the almonds for 12-15 minutes, stirring halfway through to prevent burning and to evenly distribute the heat.
Remove the almonds from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes. The coating will become crisp as the almonds cool.
Once fully cooled, transfer the almonds to an airtight container for storage. They will stay fresh for up to 2 weeks.
Serve as a snack or pair with your favorite drinks for a flavorful appetizer!
