Helpful Tips
- Use parchment paper: Lining your baking sheets makes cleanup way easier and helps prevent sticking.
- Stir halfway through: This helps the almonds bake evenly and avoids burnt spots.
- Let them cool completely: The coating crisps up as it cools, so don’t skip this step if you want that crunchy finish.
