• Roast & Toast
To Roast Almonds: Spread almonds in a single layer in a shallow pan coated lightly with butter, margarine, or oil. Roast in moderate oven, stirring occasionally until almonds color slightly. They will darken once they're away from the heat. Shelf life increases with refrigeration.

To Toast Almonds: Use a dry pan and proceed as above.
