Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups raw almonds
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the raw almonds with the extra-virgin olive oil. Toss until all the almonds are well coated.
Add the sea salt, smoked paprika, and garlic powder to the bowl. Stir well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed over the almonds.
Spread the seasoned almonds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not overcrowded to ensure even roasting.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 12-15 minutes, stirring halfway through to promote even browning and prevent burning.
Remove the almonds from the oven once they are golden brown and aromatic. Be careful to not overcook as they can burn quickly.
Let the almonds cool completely on the pan. They will continue to crisp up as they cool.
Store the roasted almonds in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
