How to toast sliced almonds in the oven

Preheat the oven to 350°.

Measure out 1 cup of sliced almonds and spread evenly on a rimmed baking sheet.

Bake for only three and a half to four minutes. The key is staying nearby and waiting for the amazing aroma.

Once they are looking slightly toasted and you can smell the wonderful aroma, pull them out of the oven and transfer almonds immediately to a large plate. This stops the cooking process, preventing them from burning. (I’ve done that plenty of times when my attention is divided, which is much of the time.) 🙂
