Roasted almonds are a big hit with almost everybody. Knowing the poor taste of prepackaged almonds, I tried a couple recipes on how to roast your own almonds. I finally settled on this one which I can deliver with constant quality. As long as you do not deviate from the formula you should be fine.
I buy my raw almonds at Trader Joe's, because they are good and not too expensive. But you can find raw almonds almost everywhere in bulk.
What do you need:
- 1 lb. raw almonds.
- 2 egg whites
- kosher salt
1. Preheat your oven at 350 degrees
2. Park the almonds on a baking sheet in the middle of your oven and roast for 15 minutes
3. In the meantime beat the egg whites until stiff peaks.
4. Toss the almonds in the egg white foam until they are nicely coated.
5. Back on the baking sheet and salt the almonds liberally with kosher salt
6. Back in the oven for another 5 minutes
7. Cool the almonds on the baking sheet.
That's all there is to it.
