Why Almonds are Great for Keto:
Almonds are a keto-friendly superfood. They are low in carbs, high in healthy fats, and provide a good source of protein and fiber. This combination helps keep you feeling full and satisfied, preventing those dreaded cravings that can derail your keto journey. Plus, they are incredibly versatile!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup raw almonds
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to your spice preference)
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt to taste
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, combine the olive oil, chili powder, cumin, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt.
- Add the almonds to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the spice mixture.
- Spread the almonds in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Roast for 10-12 minutes, or until the almonds are fragrant and lightly toasted, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking. Watch them carefully to prevent burning!
- Remove from the oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet. The almonds will crisp up as they cool.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
Tips and Variations:
- Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to control the level of spiciness.
- Experiment with different spices like smoked paprika, chipotle powder, or even a pinch of cinnamon for a unique flavor profile.
- For a sweeter kick, add a tiny amount of erythritol or stevia to the spice mix.
- Make a larger batch and portion them out into small bags for easy grab-and-go snacks.
These Keto Spicy Roasted Almonds are a fantastic way to satisfy your cravings and stay on track with your keto diet. Enjoy!
