Two Ways to Toast Almonds

There are two basic approaches to toasting almonds. You can pile them onto a baking sheet and toast them in the oven, a method that works well for a large volume of nuts. Alternatively, toast them in a skillet on the stove, which is my preferred method if I don’t want to wait for the oven to heat up or just need a small amount. 

Tips for Toasting Almonds

Here are a few tips that may come in handy: 

Whether you’re toasting whole, sliced, or slivered almonds, the method is exactly the same. Just know that smaller pieces cook a bit quicker. Store raw or roasted almonds in the fridge. They’re an oil-rich ingredient, which makes them more perishable. You can also store them in the freezer, which will extend shelf life even further. If making almond milk at home, it’s best to stick with raw, not roasted almonds.
