Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne
  • 1 1/2 cups whole raw almonds
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • In large bowl whisk butter, Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, dried basil, onion powder and cayenne. Add almonds and toss to coat. Spread in single layer on baking sheet.
  • Bake for 18-20 minutes flipping several times. Remove from oven and sprinkle with salt.
  • After fully cooling store in Ziploc freezer bag or airtight container.

Notes

  • Buy good quality raw almonds.  We buy ours from Costco and the price is really good.
  • Use good old butter!  Unsalted or salted will do the trick.
  • Do not crowd the cookie sheet so there is space for the heat to roast the almonds.
  • Flip the almonds several times to they cook more evenly and roast on both sides.
  • Season to taste!!  If you like things with a lot of heat add more cayenne or a shot of hot sauce.  If you like things more mild than cut back on the cayenne.
  •  The nuts will stay good up to about ten days stored in an airtight container.
