How to Roast Almonds

Step 1

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.

Step 2

If roasting whole almonds, roast for 10-15 minutes. If roasting slivered or sliced almonds, roast for 8-12 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent scorching. Oven temperatures may vary, so keep an eye on the almonds so they don't burn.

Step 3

Remove from oven and chop or use as desired. Or, store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

Step 4

In a medium skillet over medium-low heat, heat almonds until browned and fragrant, stirring occasionally, about 3 to 5 minutes.

Step 5

Remove from skillet and chop or use as desired. Or, store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

Step 6

On a microwave-safe plate, spread almonds in a single, even layer.

Step 7

Microwave in 1-minute intervals until lightly golden and toasted.
