Remove from oven and chop or use as desired. Or, store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

Step 4

In a medium skillet over medium-low heat, heat almonds until browned and fragrant, stirring occasionally, about 3 to 5 minutes.

Step 5

Remove from skillet and chop or use as desired. Or, store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

On a microwave-safe plate, spread almonds in a single, even layer.

Step 7

Microwave in 1-minute intervals until lightly golden and toasted.
