Ingredients
- 2 cups raw almonds
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 0.5 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.75 teaspoons sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoons cayenne pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, black pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, sea salt, and cayenne pepper. Stir well to create an even spice mixture.
Step 3
Add the raw almonds to the bowl and toss them thoroughly, ensuring they are evenly coated with the spice mixture.
Step 4
Spread the coated almonds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overlapping for even roasting.
Step 5
Bake the almonds in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, stirring once halfway through to ensure even cooking. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning.
Step 6
Remove the almonds from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. As they cool, they will become crispier.
Step 7
Once cooled, transfer the Peppered Almonds to an airtight container for storage, or serve immediately as a snack.
