Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Place the raw almonds in a food processor and pulse until they are coarsely ground. Be careful not to over-process them into almond butter.
Transfer the ground almonds to a mixing bowl.
Add the unsweetened shredded coconut, coconut flour, salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to the bowl. Stir to combine all dry ingredients.
Melt the ghee in a small saucepan over low heat or in the microwave.
Drizzle the melted ghee over the almond mixture and stir well until all the ingredients are fully coated and the mixture is crumbly.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Spread the almond crumb mixture evenly over the lined baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the almond crumb turns golden brown. Stir the mixture halfway through the baking time to ensure even browning.
Remove from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet. The almond crumb will become crispier as it cools.
Once cooled, transfer the almond crumb to an airtight container for storage.
Enjoy this Whole30 almond crumb as a topping on salads, roasted vegetables, or as a crunchy addition to your Whole30 meals.
