How to blanch and roast almonds

The Almond .

Put the almonds in a pot .

Pour boiling water over them to barely cover their tops .

Let the almonds sit in the water for about 4 minutes , Do not keep them there for too long or they will lose their crispiness and will be too soft .

Remove the almonds from the water .

Slip the skins off by squeezing the almonds between your thumb and forefingers , the skin will easily slide . 😆😆

The blanching is done :)

Now the almonds is ready to be roasted .

Heat the oil in a saucepan over medium-low to medium heat .

When the oil is preheated , spread the almonds across the pan .

Stir or shake the almonds very frequently ( about once every 30 seconds ) to prevent the nuts from burning .

Once you notice the skin of the almonds slightly start to crackle and the nuts are releasing a fragrance, you can turn the heat off .

Remove the almonds from the pan when they are done toasting , just before the almonds begin to develop browned edges and a fragrant smell , remove them from the pan .

Pouring them immediately into another dish with paper towels or kitchen towel to cool .

The almonds is ready to be used in salads or any type of food 😋😋
