Ingredients
- 2 cups raw almonds
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, lime zest, lime juice, chili powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and garlic powder. Stir well to mix all the ingredients together.
Step 3
Add the raw almonds to the bowl and toss them with the seasoning mixture until they are evenly coated.
Step 4
Spread the seasoned almonds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 5
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the almonds for 12 to 15 minutes, stirring once halfway through the cooking time. Keep an eye on them to ensure they do not burn.
Step 6
Remove the almonds from the oven when they are golden brown and fragrant. Allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet, as they will become crispier as they cool.
Step 7
Once cooled, transfer the chili lime almonds to an airtight container for storage. Enjoy as a savory snack anytime!
