Say hello to my new favorite anytime-of-day-or-night snack. Oh hey there chili-lime almonds, how goes it?? Good. It goes so dang deliciously good. These are so crazy-easy to make and so crazy-yummy to eat that I feel almost crazy-silly for not having made them 5.7 million minutes ago instead of just this week for the first time ever. I added that ’10-minutes’ part to the title because well, obviously they only require 10 minutes (duh Tiffany, saw that one comin’) and because I wanted you to know that they are so EASY & QUICK because if you’re anything like me when you’re in the mood for a snack you do not want to spend a lot of 1) time and 2) energy prepping said snack. I mean, hello, you’re already hungry – let’s not prolong the misery yeah?? Tonight is the NCAA football championship and I will be trekking over to my parents house to watch it with my brothers, dad, and possibly a sister or two who occasionally like to yell boo at the refs and pretend that they know a little somethin’ somethin’ about what is happening on the field. (They don’t.) This is like the prep round for the super bowl which is happening in a matter of weeks people, weeks. And you better believe that I’m already making my list of Tailgating Recipes To Make For ‘The Big Game’: 2015 Edition. Spinach artichoke dip – check. Honey chipotle chicken wings – check. Queso dip – check. Jalapeño popper chicken taquitos – check. 10-minute Chili-lime almonds – double check. So here’s the rundown. Step 1 – add nuts and oil to pan, sprinkle with chili powder and salt and toast for 5 minutes. Step 2 – remove from heat, stir in lime juice and chopped cilantro and allow to cool. Step 3 – devour. What snacks are you making for The Big Game?? I am working with my friends at Diamond of California Nuts to bring you this awesome post because I personally use and love their products!
