The Ingredients

• Almonds. Choose raw almonds.
• Lime juice. Fresh lime juice is their primary flavoring ingredient once combined with almonds and roasted in the oven. It gives an irresistible acidic and charred flavor. It is also a good source of vitamin C.
• Chili powder. Gives you diligent heat; add more for spicy chili lime almonds.
• Cilantro. How can cilantro be separated from limes? gives a unique aftertaste that combines all ingredients and makes the almonds look tempting.

The Recipe Directions

Add. Add almonds, lime juice, red chili powder, salt, and chopped cilantro in a mixing bowl.

Combine. Mix thoroughly until all the ingredients are combined. Set aside for about one hour. Toss in between a couple of times to ensure the almonds are soaked evenly in the lime dressing.

Set the oven. Preheat the oven to 350°. Spread the almonds on a baking tray without crowding them.

Bake. Stir in between and bake for 18 minutes, or it's completely done.

Cool. Remove it from the oven and allow it to cool to room temperature. And enjoy!

The Variations

• Jalapeno. While making the dressing, add finely chopped jalapenos for a spicy variation.
• Mint. Substitute half the quantity of cilantro with your finely chopped mint leaves.
• Cajun seasoning. For an intense aroma, add cajun seasoning to red pepper flakes. This is my favorite variation, and it deserves a special mention here.
• Black pepper. Add coarsely ground black pepper. Avoid using finely ground black pepper, as it may get burned when baking, and turn the almonds bitter.
