How To Roast Almonds

Using A Microwave

Using An Oven

• Preheat the oven to 350^oF and place an aluminum foil on a dish.
• Spread the almonds out on to the foil and place them in the oven.
• Sprinkle a little vegetable oil on the surface so that the almonds don’t stick to the foil while roasting.
• Set the oven to around 360^oF and time it for around 8min.
• Take out the dish by itself and let the almonds cool in the foil for some time.
• Freshly roasted almonds smell delicious and you could add a seasoning of your choice such as honey to make it more delicious.

Using The Stove

• If you don’t have a microwave or an oven, you can still roast almonds on the stove. Look how easy it has been made!
• Take a non stick pan, so the almonds can’t stick to the base.
• Add almonds such that it forms a single layer. Avoid taking too many almonds because it will roast unevenly then.
• On a medium flame, start roasting the almonds. Keep mixing and stir occasionally to roast it uniformly.
• Within a few minutes you will see that the colour of the skin has turned dark brown and the almonds are releasing a typical aroma.
• Let the almonds cool before you remove them. Remember slightly cooled, fresh almonds taste better than burning hot ones.
