Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups raw almonds
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the fresh lime juice, honey, and olive oil until well combined.
Add the raw almonds to the bowl and toss until they are thoroughly coated with the lime mixture.
In a small bowl, combine the chili powder, garlic powder, ground cumin, and black pepper.
Sprinkle the spice mixture over the coated almonds and toss again to ensure even coverage.
Spread the almonds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even roasting.
Remove the almonds from the oven and sprinkle the lime zest over the top while they are still warm.
Allow the almonds to cool completely on the baking sheet. This will help them become crispier.
Once cooled, store the chili lime almonds in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
