Stovetop Method: 

1. Place a small skillet on the stovetop over medium-high heat. 
2. When the skillet is hot, add the almonds and cook, stirring consistently, until the almonds are lightly toasted and aromatic, 3-4 minutes. Once the almonds are fragrant and golden brown, remove the pan from the heat. 

Oven Method: 

1. Preheat the oven to 350℉. Place the almonds on a small sheet pan (parchment paper is not necessary, but it’s OK to use it). 
2. Bake the almonds for 7-9 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning. 
3. Once almonds are fragrant and golden brown, remove from the oven.

Use the toasted almonds in recipes or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 weeks.
