Recipe- Healthy Smoky Spicy Garlic Roasted Almonds

Spicy smoky oven-roasted flavored almonds are one healthy vegan snack! Toasting almonds along with spices makes them flavorful and very addictive.

They are effortless to make and stay good for weeks! Can be made any time of the year. For me, the most trying times are the evenings and at midnight when my hunger is at the peak! It's been a couple of hours post-lunch/dinner so my belly begins to rumble.

Ingredients

2 cups raw almonds
1 tbsp chili seasoning
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tbsp dried basil
1/2 tsp salt
2 tbsp oil

Method

- Mix dry spices like garlic powder, onion powder, chili seasoning, ground cumin, dried basil, and salt in a bowl.

- Add oil or ghee if you are not vegan. Mix together.

- Then add the raw almonds to the bowl and coat them evenly with the spices.

- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a cookie tray with parchment paper. Throw in the almonds and spread them out.

- Do not crowd them one on top of the other. Bake them for 15 minutes.

- Keep checking every 5 minutes and toss them around so that they get evenly roasted.

- The roasted flavored almonds should be incredibly fragrant and should have gone slightly browner in color. That's your cue that they are done.

- Take them out carefully and allow to cool down completely.

- Serve as needed.
