Roasted almonds


In an Oven one can also toast any kind of nut in an hot oven.
Preheat an oven to 350-425 .
Place your nuts on a baking sheet and bake for a few minutes, watch them carefully.
Oven toasted nuts are a bit slower than stove top toasted nuts, but will be more uniformly browned without needing the use of oil.
The salted and the freshly roasted almonds are very popular. 

Roasted almonds make a great snack or appetizer.
Make them in simple steps..
Wash the almonds and drain them.
Preheat the oven to 200 degree centigrade.
In a bowl mix the almonds, sprinkle some oil and salt.
Spread on a baking tray and put in the oven for 10 minutes.

Make the sweet almonds by roasting in an oven.
Remove and sprinkle with sugar to coat.
Allow to cool completely before storing in a jar also can add salt if one wants to.
One can roast almonds with spices.
Like spices such as ground cumin, coriander, black pepper, cinnamon, chilly powder 

and salt before roasting.
Or also toss them in a blend of honey, sugar, salt, water and olive oil.
Almonds have their natural oil and so do not need to be coated or mixed with any type of oil before roasting.
Substitute roasted almonds for peanuts.
Almonds are among the healthiest nuts.
Almonds are a nutritional superpower: magnesium, calcium, fiber, vitamin B, folate, phosphorous and protein.
Always remember to preheat oven to 325°F.
Mix all ingredients together in a bowl in a single layer.
Line the baking tray with a parchment paper or foil
Roast almond with a masala of your choice until lightly toasted and skins are just beginning to split almost 15 to 20 minutes.
