Toasted almonds are whole almonds that have been roasted in an oven or skillet until they are golden brown and fragrant. The toasting process enhances the nutty flavor of the almonds and gives them a crunchy texture. Toasted almonds can be enjoyed on their own as a snack, or used as a topping for salads, oatmeal, yogurt, or baked goods. They can also be ground into almond meal or almond butter for use in cooking and baking.
