Frequently Asked Questions About Sliced almonds
How do you toast sliced almonds?
Toast sliced almonds in a dry skillet over low to medium heat, stirring often. They brown quickly, so take them off the heat as soon as they turn golden; the residual heat can keep cooking them.
What can you use sliced almonds for?
Sliced almonds work well on salads, oatmeal, baked goods, and desserts, and they add crunch to rice dishes and roasted vegetables. Toasting them first brings out a nuttier flavor, especially as a topping.
Can you make sliced almonds at home?
Yes. Carefully cut blanched almonds lengthwise into thin slices with a sharp knife. Briefly soaking whole almonds in hot water can make the skins easier to remove before slicing, but let the almonds dry before using them.
How should you store sliced almonds?
Keep sliced almonds in an airtight container in a cool, dark place. Their natural oils can turn stale over time; refrigerate them if you are storing them for longer, and discard any that smell rancid.
Can you eat sliced almonds raw?
Yes, sliced almonds can be eaten raw or toasted. Raw slices make a mild, crunchy topping, while toasting gives them a stronger nutty flavor. Add toasted slices after cooking when you want them to stay crisp.
Can you substitute sliced almonds for slivered almonds?
Yes, you can usually swap sliced almonds for slivered almonds, though the pieces have different shapes and textures. Sliced almonds are thin flakes; slivered almonds are narrow sticks, so the swap may change how a topping looks or crunches.
How do you keep sliced almonds from burning in a pan?
Use low to medium heat and stir sliced almonds continuously because their thin pieces brown fast. Remove them as soon as they smell nutty and look lightly golden; leaving them in the hot pan can burn them.
When should you add sliced almonds to a cake?
Add sliced almonds before baking if you want them baked onto the top, but watch the cake because the slices can brown before it is done. For a fresher crunch, sprinkle them on after baking.
Can you use sliced almonds in rice?
Yes, sliced almonds are a good crunchy addition to rice. Toast them separately in a little oil or butter and stir them into the cooked rice just before serving so they do not soften during cooking.
Do sliced almonds need to be washed?
No, sliced almonds generally do not need washing before use. Water makes the slices damp and can interfere with toasting; if you do rinse them, dry them thoroughly before cooking or storing.

What is Sliced almonds?
Sliced almonds are almonds cut into thin pieces, making them easy to scatter through a dish or use as a garnish. They appear in baking, breakfast bowls and savoury cooking around the world, including in pastries, salads, pilafs and Middle Eastern dishes.
Their flavour is gently sweet and nutty; raw slices are tender, while a brief toast makes them crisp and more fragrant. They provide protein, fibre and vitamin E, alongside plenty of fats, so a small handful adds substantial richness. Toast them in a dry pan over low heat, watching closely, then sprinkle over yoghurt, porridge or roasted vegetables for extra crunch.
