Ingredients
- 2 cups Raw almonds
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2
Place the raw almonds in a medium mixing bowl.
Step 3
Drizzle the olive oil over the almonds and toss until they are well coated.
Step 4
Sprinkle the black pepper, sea salt, smoked paprika (if using), and garlic powder over the almonds. Toss again to combine evenly.
Step 5
Spread the seasoned almonds in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even roasting. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
Step 7
Remove the almonds from the oven once they are fragrant and lightly golden. Let them cool on the baking sheet for 10-15 minutes. They will crisp up as they cool.
Step 8
Once cooled, transfer the black pepper almonds to an airtight container for storage or serve immediately as a snack.
