In this post, learn how to toast almonds three ways: in the oven, on the stovetop, or in your air fryer. Instructions for whole nuts, almond slivers, and almond slices included!
Ingredients
- 1 cup of raw almonds – you can use whole almonds, almond slivers, or almond slices
Instructions
Oven toasted almonds
- Preheat oven to 325°F.

Stovetop toasted almonds in a skillet

Notes
How to store toasted almonds
Store toasted almonds in a glass jar or airtight container for up to three months. It’s best to keep them in the fridge, freezer, or a cool, dark place away from heat, which can cause the fats in almonds to oxidize and go rancid.
