Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups raw almonds
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 0.5 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.75 teaspoons sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoons cayenne pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, black pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, sea salt, and cayenne pepper. Stir well to create an even spice mixture.
Add the raw almonds to the bowl and toss them thoroughly, ensuring they are evenly coated with the spice mixture.
Spread the coated almonds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overlapping for even roasting.
Bake the almonds in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, stirring once halfway through to ensure even cooking. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning.
Remove the almonds from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. As they cool, they will become crispier.
Once cooled, transfer the Peppered Almonds to an airtight container for storage, or serve immediately as a snack.
