Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups raw almonds
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cumin
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, paprika, ground cumin, ground black pepper, cayenne pepper, and sea salt. Stir until the mixture is evenly combined.
Add the raw almonds to the bowl and toss them in the spice mixture until the almonds are evenly coated.
Spread the spiced almonds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the almonds in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even roasting.
Remove the almonds from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet. The coating will harden as they cool.
Once cooled, transfer the spiced almonds to an airtight container for storage or serve them immediately for a flavorful snack.
