Place the raw almonds in a medium-sized bowl and pour the apple cider vinegar over them.
Allow the almonds to soak in the vinegar for at least 30 minutes to absorb the flavor.
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Drain the soaked almonds using a fine sieve and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Transfer the almonds to a large mixing bowl and drizzle them with olive oil.
Sprinkle the sea salt, smoked paprika, and garlic powder over the almonds, tossing them until they are well coated.
Spread the almonds evenly across the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the almonds in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even roasting.
Remove from the oven and let the almonds cool completely on the baking sheet, allowing them to crisp up.
Once cooled, store the salt and vinegar almonds in an airtight container for up to one week.
