Dry Roasted Almonds Recipes

HOW TO ROAST ALMONDS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
• 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.
• Remove from oven and chop or use as desired. Or, store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
• In a medium skillet over medium-low heat, heat almonds until browned and fragrant, stirring occasionally, about 3 to 5 minutes.
• Remove from skillet and chop or use as desired. Or, store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
• On a microwave-safe plate, spread almonds in a single, even layer.
• Microwave in 1-minute intervals until lightly golden and toasted.

PERFECTLY SALTED DIY ROASTED ALMONDS - SERIOUSLY THE BEST!

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375 degrees and line a large baking sheet with silicone or parchment.* Place the raw almonds in a large metal or ceramic mixing bowl (we'll be adding the hot nuts back into it, so don't use plastic).
• Stir 1½ teaspoon of salt into the hot water until mostly dissolved (it hardly ever completely dissolves for me - it's okay if it doesn't), pour over the nuts in the bowl and mix until all are coated.
• Transfer to prepared baking sheet, spreading the nuts in a single layer.
• Bake for about 8 minutes, stir well and spread back into a single layer. Bake for 6-8 minutes more, depending on how your oven cooks (Ours are usually perfect at about 15 minutes total, but your oven may vary, so may take 5-10 minutes longer). To test doneness, the nuts should be nicely browned, inside and out (you can cut one open to see if it's browned inside). Keep an eye on them, this is when they can burn quickly - but you don't want them undercooked either or they won't be crisp (once you've made them, the timing is easier).
• When they are done baking, put the hot nuts back into the large bowl and pour the olive oil over them. Toss well until all the nuts are coated, shaking on sea salt as you go. You can taste one, but they're very hot, so be careful (I usually just like to see a bit of salt on the outsides and that seems to be enough with the original salt-water coating).
• Leave the nuts to cool in the bowl, or spread out on the pan again if you need them to cool more quickly. The nuts will soak up the oil as they cool.**
• Store in an airtight container at room temperature.

DRY ROASTED ALMONDS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Spread almonds on an ungreased cookie sheet.
• Bake for 10-12 minutes or until they are golden brown and fragrant. Note that because of their high oil content, the almonds will continue to roast after you remove them from the oven.
• Check to make sure that the almonds have the proper crunch when bitten into. It should taste toasted, not bitter or burnt.
• Sprinkle with salt if desired.

EASY ROASTED ALMOND COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C). Spread the almonds onto a baking sheet, and toast until the nuts start to turn golden brown and become fragrant, about 45 minutes. Watch the nuts carefully as they bake, they burn quickly. Once toasted, set the nuts aside to cool to room temperature. Finely grind the almonds in a food processor.
• Raise oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Oil a baking sheet with vegetable oil.
• In a bowl, mix together the ground almonds, oat flour, maple syrup, and almond extract. Form the mixture into 6 balls, then flatten the balls into cookies about 1/4 inch thick. Place cookies onto the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake until crisp and brown around the edges, 12 to 15 minutes; watch them carefully because they burn easily. Remove the cookies carefully, and allow to cool.

SIMPLE ROASTED ALMONDS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Bring a saucepan three-fourths full of water to a boil over high heat, add the almonds and boil for 30 seconds Drain, then immediately wrap the almonds in a kitchen towel and rub them in the towel to loosen the skins Pinch the almonds from the skins; the almonds should slip out easily This step is optional and can be skipped.
• Transfer the almonds to a heavy rimmed baking sheet.
• Add the oil and toss to coat evenly.
• Add the salt and toss again.
• Place in the oven and toast, stirring the almonds once or twice so they brown evenly (about every 5 minutes), until golden brown and fragrant, 20 to 30 minutes.
• Transfer to paper towels to cool completely, about 1 hour, before serving.
• Adjustments: Omit oil and salt and toast as directed above for plain roasted almonds.
• Be sure to purchase fresh almonds and not almonds that are"smoked" or"salted"- those are generally already roasted.
• Total time is listed as 1 hour 30 minutes, with the"cooking" time as time allowed for almonds to cool completely.
