Mar 22, 2020 at 14:36 comment added Mark Wildon Thanks, that is interesting. I'm still surprised 95°C is hot enough to roast the almonds, rather than just warm them through. Still, the linked article does say that acrylamide forms at 120°C.
Mar 22, 2020 at 10:52 comment added myklbykl Roasting for a shorter time at a higher temperature is possible, but it leads to the formation of acrylamide. Here is an article which explains this for more info. almonds.com/sites/default/files/content/attachments/…
Mar 22, 2020 at 10:25 comment added Mark Wildon I am surprised by the edit. My experience and online recipes, e.g. bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/roastedalmonds_70353, wikihow.com/Roast-Raw-Almonds all suggest that 200°C is about right. I think 95°C is far too low: this won't even toast bread!
