Ingredients
- 2 cups raw almonds
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0 as needed olive oil cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or use a silicone baking mat.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the lime juice, chili powder, ground cumin, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, salt, and honey. Stir until well combined.
Step 3
Add the raw almonds to the bowl and toss well to ensure all almonds are evenly coated with the spice mixture.
Step 4
Lightly spray the prepared baking sheet with olive oil cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Step 5
Spread the seasoned almonds in a single layer on the baking sheet. Ensure they are evenly spaced for uniform cooking.
Step 6
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 10-15 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the almonds are golden brown and fragrant.
Step 7
Remove the almonds from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. The almonds will continue to crisp up as they cool.
Step 8
Once completely cooled, transfer the almonds to an airtight container for storage. Serve as a snack or as a topping for salads.
