Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups raw almonds
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the raw almonds in a large mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, lime zest, lime juice, chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and cayenne pepper. Mix well until all spices and liquids are fully combined.
Pour the spice and lime mixture over the almonds and toss well to ensure all almonds are evenly coated.
Spread the coated almonds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the almonds are toasted and fragrant.
Remove from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. The almonds will continue to crisp as they cool.
Once cooled, transfer the almonds to an airtight container for storage. They can be stored at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
