Ingredients
- 1 pound raw almonds
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) to create the perfect temperature for roasting the almonds evenly.
- Prepare Almonds: Measure out 1 pound of raw almonds, ensuring they are clean and free from any debris.
- Arrange Almonds: Spread the almonds evenly on a large sheet pan or divide them between two sheet pans if needed to avoid overcrowding, which helps them roast uniformly.
- Roast: Place the sheet pan(s) into the preheated oven and roast the almonds for 15 to 20 minutes. Stir the almonds once or twice during roasting to promote even browning and prevent burning. Adjust the roasting time depending on how dark or crunchy you prefer your almonds.
- Cool: Remove the almonds from the oven and let them cool completely on the sheet pan(s). This step allows the almonds to crisp up as they cool.
- Store: Once cooled, transfer the roasted almonds to freezer bags or airtight glass jars for storage. Properly stored, they will remain fresh and crunchy for weeks.
Notes
- Stirring the almonds occasionally during roasting ensures they cook evenly and do not burn.
- You can adjust roasting time depending on your preference for a lighter or deeper roast.
- Store almonds in an airtight container to maintain freshness and prevent them from becoming stale.
- For added flavor, consider tossing almonds with a bit of olive oil and seasoning before roasting.
