Almonds Recipes

Almonds are a versatile pantry ingredient that add crunch, richness, and mild nutty flavor to both sweet and savory recipes. Use whole, sliced, slivered, chopped, or ground almonds depending on whether you want texture, garnish, or a tender baked-good crumb.

They work especially well in cookies, cakes, granola, trail mix, pesto-style sauces, roasted vegetable dishes, rice pilafs, and salads. Toasting almonds before adding them to a recipe deepens their flavor and makes even simple dishes taste more finished.

Almond flour and almond meal are useful for gluten-free baking, crusts, coatings, and thickening sauces, while almond butter can enrich smoothies, dressings, noodle sauces, and energy bites.
