These spicy wasabi almonds are bold, crunchy, and made for the keto diet. Easy to throw together with pantry ingredients, they make the perfect low carb snack for anytime hunger hits. Baked to perfection with a kick of wasabi and garlic, this snack is addicting in the best way.
2 cups raw almonds
1 tablespoon avocado oil (or olive oil)
1 ½ teaspoons wasabi powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon coconut aminos or light soy sauce
Optional: ½ teaspoon chili flakes
Optional: pinch of monk fruit sweetener or erythritol
Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
Line a baking tray with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
In a large bowl, mix almonds, oil, wasabi powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and coconut aminos. Add chili flakes and sweetener if using.
Stir well until almonds are evenly coated.
Spread almonds in a single layer on the tray.
Bake for 15 minutes, stir, then bake another 10–15 minutes.
Check often in the last few minutes to avoid burning.
Remove from oven and cool completely—they’ll crisp up as they cool.
Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
Start with 1 tsp wasabi if you’re sensitive to heat
Real wasabi works great but is expensive—powdered horseradish-based versions are fine
Great in homemade keto trail mixes with pumpkin seeds and cheese crisps
