Another way to toast your seeds and almonds is to use a dry skillet on the stovetop. It will take about 3 minutes at medium temperature to toast the sesame seeds, and about 5 minutes for the sunflower seeds and almonds. Just stir them and watch closely because they burn quickly. Remove them when they're toasted golden or a light brown and spread them on a plate to cool. If you leave them in the skillet, they will continue to brown.
