Sliced almonds are thin, flat pieces of almond nuts that have been carefully sliced from whole almonds. They have a light, crisp texture and a delicate, mildly sweet flavor. Typically, sliced almonds are pale in color with a slight tan hue, and they often have a slightly toasted aroma when roasted. These versatile nuts are commonly used as a topping for salads, desserts, oatmeal, or baked goods, adding both crunch and a subtle nutty taste. Sliced almonds are also a popular ingredient in granola mixes and trail mixes.
