Storage Instructions
Allow the roasted almonds to cool completely before storing them in an airtight container. This helps prevent condensation and keeps them crunchy. They will keep well at room temperature for about 2 weeks!
You can also store them in the fridge for about a month. For longer storage, you can freeze the roasted almonds. Place them in a freezer-safe bag or container, and they can last for up to six months. When you're ready to eat them, let them come to room temperature to enjoy their full flavor and crunch.
