Ingredients
- 1 cup almonds whole, slivered or sliced
Instructions
In the Oven
- Preheat the oven to 350˚F.
- Place the almonds on a quarter rimmed baking sheet and shake it around to evenly distribute the almonds in a single layer.
- Bake for 7 to 9 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until they become fragrant and golden brown. Enjoy warm or store for later use at room temperature for up to 3 months.
Cup of Yum
On the Stovetop
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the almonds to the dry pan and toast for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently until they become fragrant and golden brown. Enjoy warm or store for later use at room temperature for up to 3 months.
Notes
- Storage: Store toasted almonds in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 months.
- Store toasted almonds in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 months.
- Tips:
- Watch the heat closely to prevent the almonds from turning too dark and bitter. You want them beautifully golden, not burnt.
- Stir frequently. This isn’t necessary in the oven (just once will suffice) but if you are toasting sliced or slivered almonds on the stove, it’s important that you stir them often to prevent burning them.
- Follow your sense of smell. Ovens and stovetops vary, and nuts can go from pleasant to burnt in a matter of seconds. When a rich, nutty aroma fills the air, it’s a sign your almonds are nearing perfection.
- Wait until the almonds are completely cooled and firm before storing. Transferring warm almonds into a storage container can lead to condensation, compromising their crispy and crunchy texture.
