Dry Roasted Almonds

This makes raw almonds delicious without using additional oil. They are great by themselves as a snack or mixed in with other dishes--chop roughly and add to green salads for extra protein and crunch, mix with a crumble topping for a lovely, fragrant flavor to your apple or peach crumble, or top your oatmeal with roasted almonds to add more essential vitamins to your meal.

• Ready In: 12 mins
• Serves: 4
• Yields: 1/2 cup roasted almonds

Ingredients

• 1⁄2 cup  almonds (raw)
• 1⁄4 teaspoon kosher salt (optional -- I mainly put this here because recipezaar requires at least two ingredients, as the almo)

Directions

1. Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Spread almonds on an ungreased cookie sheet.
3. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until they are golden brown and fragrant. Note that because of their high oil content, the almonds will continue to roast after you remove them from the oven.
4. Check to make sure that the almonds have the proper crunch when bitten into. It should taste toasted, not bitter or burnt.
5. Sprinkle with salt if desired.
