TIPS AND HOW-TOS
HOW TO ROAST ALMONDS
Roasting almonds deepens their flavor and gives them a crisper texture. Here is how to do it:
Preheat oven to 180 °C. Spread the almonds in an even layer on the baking sheet. Place in oven and roast for 10-15 minutes. Stir or shake the tray every 5 minutes to help the almonds to cook evenly.
When the almonds are browned and smell nutty, remove from the oven and immediately transfer onto a plate or another baking sheet.
