Sliced Almonds Recipes

Sliced almonds are thin, delicate almond pieces that add light crunch, nutty flavor, and an elegant finish to both sweet and savory recipes. They toast quickly and are especially useful when you want almond flavor without the heavier bite of whole nuts. Use them to top muffins, coffee cakes, oatmeal, yogurt bowls, granola, and fruit crisps, or fold them into cookie dough and quick breads. On the savory side, sliced almonds are excellent over green beans, roasted carrots, grain bowls, rice pilaf, chicken salad, and leafy salads with citrus or dried fruit. For the best flavor, toast sliced almonds briefly in a dry skillet or on a baking sheet until lightly golden and fragrant. Add them near the end of cooking or just before serving so they stay crisp and visually appealing.
