Ingredients
  

For the Coating
  • 2 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil Opt for a light olive oil for a milder flavor
  • 1 teaspoon Chipotle Chili Powder Substitute with regular chili powder for a milder version
For the Almonds

For Flavor Enhancement

Equipment

Method
 

Steps
  1. In a large skillet, pour in a couple of tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil and set it over medium heat. Allow the oil to warm up for about 2 minutes, watching for it to shimmer slightly, indicating that it's ready.
  2. Add raw almonds to the skillet along with the chipotle chili powder. Stir constantly for about 3-4 minutes until the almonds turn golden brown and become fragrant.
  3. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in fresh lime juice, mixing thoroughly to ensure all almonds are coated. Allow this mixture to sit for an additional minute.
  4. Transfer the almonds to a plate and let them cool for a few minutes. After cooling, mix in the lime zest to amplify the lime flavor.
