Roast for 10-15 minutes, stirring the almonds halfway through, until they are golden brown and fragrant. Watch carefully towards the end to prevent burning, as they can go from toasted to burnt very quickly.

Remove from the oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet. They will become much crispier as they cool down. Once fully cooled, transfer to an airtight container for storage.
