Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups raw almonds
- 3 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 tablespoon raw honey
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the lime juice, lime zest, chili powder, cayenne pepper, sea salt, raw honey, and olive oil. Whisk these ingredients together until fully combined.
Add the raw almonds to the bowl and toss them in the lime and spice mixture until they are completely coated.
Spread the coated almonds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the almonds are lightly browned and fragrant.
Remove the almonds from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. They will continue to crisp up as they cool.
Once cooled, serve the almonds as a snack or store them in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
