Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups raw almonds
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
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, chili powder, lime zest, lime juice, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to create a uniform mixture.
Add the almonds to the bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated with the spice mixture.
Spread the coated almonds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the almonds for 12 to 15 minutes, stirring halfway through the cooking time to ensure even roasting.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven when the almonds are golden brown and aromatic.
Let the almonds cool completely on the baking sheet. They will continue to crisp up as they cool.
Once cooled, transfer the chili lime almonds to an airtight container for storage. Enjoy as a snack or use them as a crunchy topping for salads.
