Tips:
- Choose the right almonds. For best results, use whole, unblanched almonds. Blanched almonds will not have the same flavour or texture.
- Toast the almonds before frying. This will help to bring out their flavour and make them more crispy.
- Use a large skillet. This will give the almonds plenty of room to spread out and cook evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet. If you do, the almonds will not cook evenly and may burn.
- Cook the almonds over medium heat. This will help to prevent them from burning.
- Stir the almonds frequently. This will help to ensure that they cook evenly.
- Season the almonds to taste. You can use a variety of seasonings, such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, or cayenne pepper.
- Serve the almonds immediately. They are best enjoyed fresh out of the skillet.
