Enjoy these deliciously smoky and savory almonds, perfect for snacking or sharing during gatherings.
Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
In a mixing bowl, combine the raw almonds and olive oil, tossing until the almonds are evenly coated.
Use a spatula to ensure all almonds are coated without excess oil.
Spread the almonds in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Using parchment paper prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
Bake the almonds in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, stirring halfway through for even roasting.
Stirring ensures all almonds are roasted evenly.
Remove the almonds from the oven and transfer them back to the mixing bowl.
Allow the almonds to cool slightly before adding seasonings.
Add the liquid smoke, sea salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper to the almonds, tossing until well coated.
Adjust seasoning to taste for a personalized flavor.
Spread the seasoned almonds back onto the baking sheet and bake for an additional 15 minutes.
This step enhances the flavor and ensures a crispy texture.
Allow the almonds to cool completely before serving or storing.
Cooling allows the flavors to set and the almonds to crisp up.
