TOASTED ALMONDS SLICED RECIPES

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Melt butter on a non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
• When the butter is melted, add sugar and stir to combine.
• Add the slivered almonds and cook, stirring every 30 seconds, for 4 minutes, or until slightly browned.
• Remove the toasted sugared almonds from a frying pan onto the parchment paper and spread in a single layer.
• Let the almonds cool, then transfer to a serving dish.

Steps:

• "Place almond slices in a pan over medium-high heat. Keep shaking the pan while the nuts get heated through and start to toast lightly. Sprinkle sugar over the nuts and keep stirring them gently with a wooden spoon. Get the sugar distributed fairly quickly as it will soon start to melt and get sticky. As the sugar caramelizes it will coat the nuts as they continue toasting. Sprinkle in a light dusting of cinnamon if desired and add a pinch of salt to round out the flavors. When the nuts are starting to turn golden brown cut off the heat but continue gently stirring while they cool. They will finish toasting as they cool. If you don't stir them they will stick together and you'll have almond clumps instead of slices. When they are cooled down you can turn them out onto a plate or board to harden completely. Use these as a garnish on ice cream or in a tropical salad. They will keep for about a week in the refrigerator.
