Ingredients
- 2 cups raw almonds
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and brown sugar. Mix well to form a spice blend.
Step 3
Add the raw almonds to the bowl and toss thoroughly to coat them evenly with the spice mixture.
Step 4
Spread the coated almonds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even roasting. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
Step 6
Remove the almonds from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. They will crisp up as they cool.
Step 7
Once cooled, store the chili spiced almonds in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
