Chef's Note
Toasting the almonds brings out their natural oils and enhances their flavor significantly. For meal prep, you can toast a larger batch of almonds and store them in an airtight container for up to two weeks. This simple technique elevates this protein-packed snack from ordinary to extraordinary with minimal effort.
