These roasted almonds are coated in a spicy chili lime seasoning, providing a delightful crunch and a burst of flavor. The recipe takes about 25 minutes from start to finish and yields approximately 2 cups of almonds.

Ingredients

2 cups raw almonds
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
Zest of 1 lime
Juice of 1 lime
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for extra heat)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare the Almonds: In a mixing bowl, combine the raw almonds with olive oil, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, lime zest, lime juice, and cayenne pepper if using. Toss until the almonds are evenly coated.
Roast the Almonds: Spread the almond mixture in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the almonds are golden and fragrant.
Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the almonds cool completely on the baking sheet. Once cooled, they can be served immediately or stored in an airtight container for later enjoyment.
