The recipe itself is fairly straightforward, but when toasting the almonds, Lattuca says it’s better to toast them on a sheet pan in a 300-degree oven rather than in a skillet where they’re more likely to burn. Be sure to stir the almonds constantly and remove from the oven before they’re done because they’ll continue to cook in the hot pan, he says.
