Notes
You can substitute the almonds with walnuts.
If you want a more subtle cheese, then sprinkle with crumbled goat cheese or even shaved Parmesan.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge up to 3 days. Eat them cold in a salad or warm them on a sheet pan in a 350-degree F oven for 2-3 minutes. They are best eaten when they are freshly roasted.
To make the recipe vegan, omit the cheese.
To make the topping gluten free, use gluten free panko breadcrumbs.
