How to Roast Almonds
19 Dec
I made a delicious pasta that required a mix-in of chopped roasted almonds. Having no roasted almonds, but tons of raw almonds, I decided to roast my own plain almonds.
- Preheat oven to 350°
- Line a cookie sheet or jelly roll pan with aluminum foil
- Lay your almonds on the cookie sheet in a single layer
- I coated my almonds with cooking spray to help it retain moisture, but you could also brush on vegetable oil for the same effect
- Bake in oven for 8-10 minutes
And you’re done! Yummy! I’d like to try this with olive oil instead of cooking spray – I am interested in the flavor differences between olive oil and normal vegetable oil.
After this I used a utility knife to chop the almonds into equal sized pieces, but you could also use a food chopper if you wanted to save time. I sometimes use my KitchenAid Food Chopper
