Ingredients

• 2 cups raw almonds
• 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine lime juice, olive oil, chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well combined to form a marinade.

Step 3

Add the raw almonds to the bowl and toss them in the marinade until they are fully coated.

Step 4

Spread the marinated almonds onto the prepared baking sheet in an even layer.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, stirring twice during the cooking process to ensure even roasting. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning.

Step 6

Remove from the oven once the almonds are golden brown and fragrant. Allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet. The almonds will continue to crisp up as they cool.

Step 7

Once cooled, store the chili lime almonds in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
