Steps
Prepare your spice mix: In a bowl, combine dry spices like garlic powder, onion powder, chili seasoning, ground cumin, dried basil, and salt.
Add oil or vegan ghee (optional): Drizzle a little oil or vegan ghee over the spices. Mix well to create a flavorful coating for the almonds.
Coat the almonds: Add raw almonds to the bowl and toss them until they’re evenly coated with the spice mixture. Make sure every almond is covered for maximum flavor in every bite.
Preheat and prepare your oven: Set the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the almonds out in a single layer, making sure they aren’t touching or crowded, so they roast evenly. Bake for about 15 minutes, tossing every 5 minutes to ensure even roasting. Keep a close eye—once the almonds turn slightly golden and the aroma of spices fills your kitchen, they’re ready! Once your oven roasted almonds have cooled completely, transfer to a clean dry airtight jar.
