Ingredients
- 2 cups raw almonds
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the lime juice, lime zest, and olive oil. Whisk them together until well blended.
Step 3
Add the chili powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, and sea salt to the lime mixture. Stir until all the spices are fully incorporated.
Step 4
Add the raw almonds to the bowl and toss them in the spice mixture until they are evenly coated.
Step 5
Spread the coated almonds in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even roasting.
Step 7
Remove the almonds from the oven once they are golden brown and fragrant.
Step 8
Allow the almonds to cool completely on the baking sheet; they will become crisp as they cool.
Step 9
Transfer the cooled almonds to an airtight container for storage. They will stay fresh for up to two weeks.
