Questions about Toasted almonds
How much toasted almonds is a sensible snack portion?
A small handful, about 25–30 g, is an easy portion to serve; that provides 177 kcal and 6.1 g of protein. Put the handful in a bowl rather than eating straight from the packet.
How do you toast almonds in the oven without burning them?
Spread whole or sliced almonds in one layer on a baking tray and toast at 160 °C for about 8–12 minutes, stirring once. Take them out when they smell nutty and are just lightly golden; they continue to darken a little as they cool.
Can you toast almonds in a frying pan?
Yes: put them in a dry, heavy frying pan over a medium-low heat and stir or shake the pan for 3–5 minutes. Remove them as soon as they turn fragrant and lightly golden, since the thin pieces can scorch quickly.
How should you store toasted almonds?
Let them cool completely before sealing them in an airtight jar, then keep the jar somewhere cool and dark. For longer storage, freeze them in a sealed bag; thaw them before opening so condensation does not settle on the almonds.
What can you use toasted almonds in?
Scatter chopped toasted almonds over porridge, yoghurt, salads or roasted vegetables for crunch. They are also a classic finishing touch for green beans amandine and work well in almond pesto or sprinkled over a curry.
Can you use toasted almonds instead of raw almonds in a recipe?
Usually, yes, especially in salads, toppings and savoury dishes, where their toasted flavour is welcome. In baking, use them where the recipe calls for roasted or toasted nuts; if the almonds are already salted, reduce the added salt.
