They are bite-sized, nutrient-dense, convenient, crunchy and have a variety of uses in the kitchen. Give one of these ideas a try:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Crush them and add to coating for fish, chicken or pork<\/li>\n<li>Scatter them on anything and everything from oatmeal, yogurt parfaits, salads, stir fries, and ice cream sundaes <\/li>\n<li>Mix them into store bought or homemade granola<\/li>\n<li>Stir them into muffin and bread batters<\/li>\n<li>Chop and add them to crisp or crumble toppings<\/li>\n<li>Include them in homemade energy bite recipes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>But before you toss them in a dish, toast them! Toasting nuts enhances the flavor and aroma of any dish where nuts are used.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Oven toasting:<\/strong> Preheat oven to 350\u2070F. Spread nuts in an even layer on a baking sheet. Roast for ~10 minutes, stirring once. Remove nuts from the oven and transfer to a bowl or plate to cool. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Skillet toasting:<\/strong> Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. You do not need to add oil or cooking spray to the skillet. Toast the nuts in a single layer, stirring frequently, until they start to become fragrant, about 5-8 minutes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Nuts can burn very quickly, so stay near the stove while toasting. Once cooled, store toasted nuts in an airtight container and use within a week for the best flavor. <\/p>\n<p><span class=\"art\"><span><strong>Tips for Storing<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nBecause of their high oil content, nuts are prone to going rancid when stored for a long period of time at room temperature. If you won\u2019t be consuming them within a few months, consider storing them in the freezer in an airtight container. <\/p>\n<p>If you love snacking on nuts but want to add a little more flavor, try these tasty recipes for Cinnamon Glazed Almonds and Toasted Rosemary and Sea Salt Walnuts.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<h1 class=\"nostyle\"><span class=\"recTitle\">Cinnamon Glazed Almonds<\/span><\/h1>\n<p><span class=\"recPrep\">Prep: 5 minutes<br \/>\nCook\/Bake: 20 minutes \u2022 Makes: 4 (1\/4 cup servings)<\/span> <!--more--><\/p>\n<div class=\"recIngre\"><span>1 <\/span>cup whole almonds<br \/>\n<span>1\/4 <\/span>cup sugar<br \/>\n<span>1-1\/2 <\/span>Tbsp. water<br \/>\n<span>1 <\/span>tsp. ground cinnamon<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Preheat oven to 250\u2070F.
