In a medium bowl, toss together all ingredients until almonds are well coated. A rubber scraper works well.
Scrape almonds onto a large rimmed baking sheet; arrange in a single layer.
Roast for 10 minutes, stir, and continue roasting for another 5-8 minutes or until lightly browned. Watch carefully as they can burn quickly.
Cool completely on baking sheet before storing in an airtight container or jar.
