Roasted Almonds Recipe

Almonds: Raw almonds are the main ingredient and provide a crunchy texture and nutty flavor.

Olive oil: Olive oil helps to coat the almonds, allowing the salt to stick and adding a subtle richness.

Sea salt: Sea salt enhances the flavor of the almonds and provides a satisfying salty contrast.

To achieve perfectly roasted almonds, make sure to stir them halfway through the roasting process. This ensures even browning and prevents any from burning. Additionally, you can experiment with different seasonings such as smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, or rosemary to add a unique twist to your snack.

• Allow the roasted almonds to cool completely before storing. This prevents condensation, which can lead to sogginess.
• Store the roasted almonds in an airtight container to maintain their crispiness. Glass jars, plastic containers with tight lids, or resealable plastic bags work well.
• Keep the container in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. A pantry or cupboard is ideal.
• For longer storage, place the airtight container in the refrigerator. This can extend the freshness of the roasted almonds for up to 3 months.
• To freeze, spread the cooled roasted almonds in a single layer on a baking sheet and place in the freezer for about an hour. This prevents them from clumping together.
• Once frozen, transfer the roasted almonds to a resealable freezer bag or airtight container. Label with the date for reference.
• Frozen roasted almonds can be stored for up to 6 months. Thaw at room temperature before enjoying.
• If you notice any off smells or flavors, discard the roasted almonds as they may have gone rancid.

• Oven Method: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Spread the roasted almonds in a single layer on a baking sheet. Heat for about 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are warmed through and regain their crunch.

• Stovetop Method: Place a skillet over medium heat. Add the roasted almonds and stir frequently for about 3-5 minutes until they are heated evenly. Be careful not to burn them.

• Microwave Method: Spread the roasted almonds on a microwave-safe plate. Heat on high for 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until they are warm. This method is quick but may not restore the full crunch.

• Air Fryer Method: Preheat your air fryer to 300°F (150°C). Place the roasted almonds in the basket in a single layer. Heat for about 3-5 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until they are warmed and crispy.

• Toaster Oven Method: Preheat your toaster oven to 300°F (150°C). Spread the roasted almonds on the toaster oven tray. Heat for about 5-7 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they are warm and crunchy.

• Oven: Used to roast the almonds at a consistent temperature of 350°F (175°C).

• Baking sheet: A flat surface to spread the almonds in a single layer for even roasting.

• Parchment paper: Lining the baking sheet to prevent the almonds from sticking and to make cleanup easier.

• Mixing bowl: Used to toss the almonds with olive oil and sea salt, ensuring they are evenly coated.

• Measuring cups: To measure the exact amount of raw almonds needed for the recipe.

• Measuring spoons: To measure the olive oil and sea salt accurately.

• Spatula: Useful for stirring the almonds halfway through the roasting process to ensure even browning.

• Airtight container: For storing the roasted almonds once they have cooled completely, keeping them fresh.

Preheat efficiently: Preheat the oven while you gather and prepare your ingredients to save time.

Quick coating: Use a large mixing bowl to toss the almonds with olive oil and sea salt for even and fast coating.

Even roasting: Spread the almonds in a single layer on the baking sheet to ensure they roast evenly and quickly.

Stir midway: Stir the almonds halfway through roasting to promote uniform browning and avoid burning.

Cool quickly: Transfer the roasted almonds to a cool surface immediately after roasting to speed up the cooling process.
