Olives Smoked Chili Almonds

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure that the almonds roast evenly and develop a nice crunch.

  2. 2

    Mix Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the raw almonds, olive oil, smoked paprika, chili powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Toss the almonds until they are evenly coated with the oil and spices.

  3. 3

    Spread on Baking Sheet

    Spread the seasoned almonds in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This prevents sticking and makes for easy cleanup.

  4. 4

    Roast the Almonds

    Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the almonds for about 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway through. Keep an eye on them to ensure they don’t burn; you want them golden and crunchy.

  5. 5

    Cool and Serve

    Once roasted, remove the almonds from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve them warm or at room temperature as a delicious snack.
