Ingredients

• 2 cups raw almonds
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons paprika
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cumin
• 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoons cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon sea salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, paprika, ground cumin, ground black pepper, cayenne pepper, and sea salt. Stir until the mixture is evenly combined.

Step 3

Add the raw almonds to the bowl and toss them in the spice mixture until the almonds are evenly coated.

Step 4

Spread the spiced almonds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 5

Bake the almonds in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even roasting.

Step 6

Remove the almonds from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet. The coating will harden as they cool.

Step 7

Once cooled, transfer the spiced almonds to an airtight container for storage or serve them immediately for a flavorful snack.
