Sweet and Spicy Roasted Almonds
First things first, let’s get our ingredients together. You’ll need:
- 2 cups raw almonds
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust for heat)
Alright, now that we have everything we need, let’s dive into the how-to. It’s gonna be super easy and oh-so-satisfying!
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will give those almonds a nice roasting.
- In a mixing bowl, toss the raw almonds with olive oil. Make sure they are evenly coated.
- In a separate bowl, combine the sugar, chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and cayenne pepper. Mix it well!
- Now, sprinkle the spice mix over the oiled almonds and toss until they are well coated.
- Spread the seasoned almonds in a single layer on a baking sheet. Make sure they are not overcrowded for even roasting.
- Pop that baking sheet in the oven and roast for about 10-15 minutes. Halfway through, give ‘em a shake or stir to make sure they brown evenly.
- Once they’re golden and fragrant, take them out and let them cool completely. They’ll get even crunchier as they cool down.
