To toast almonds place them on an ungreased cookie sheet in a single layer.

Toast in a 350 degree oven approximately 8 minutes or until the almonds become a golden brown. Almonds can also be toasted in a skillet for 6 minutes over medium heat and in the microwave on high for 4 minutes.  Always remember to stir the almonds often for even toasting and never let them darken any more than a light golden brown
