Almonds provide healthy fats, protein, fiber, and important nutrients like vitamin E and magnesium. They support heart health and help keep you full between meals. Eating a small handful of almonds as a snack or adding them to recipes like oatmeal, salads, or baked goods is an easy way to include them in a balanced diet.

You can roast almonds on the stovetop using a dry skillet. Place raw almonds in a pan over medium heat and stir frequently for 5 to 7 minutes until they become fragrant and lightly browned. Remove them from the pan immediately to prevent burning and allow them to cool before using.

To cook almonds in a pan, heat a skillet over medium heat and add the almonds in a single layer. Stir frequently so they toast evenly. Cook for several minutes until they turn golden and smell nutty. Let them cool before adding them to recipes, snacks, or desserts.
