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.

Wash the almonds and drain them.
Preheat the oven to 200 degree centigrade.
