In a bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cornstarch and salt.
In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the orange juice and zest, sugar, vegetable oil, orange and vanilla. Beat together until everything is combined.
Add the flour in three batches to the orange juice mixture, mixing for 10 seconds after each addition. Add the almonds at the end and mix. Once everything is combined, your dough will still look quite wet.
Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or by oiling it. Use a spatula to divide the dough into two portions. Using very well-oiled hands, shape each half into a flat log, about four inches wide. The oil on your hands should help you get it into an even shape.
Place both logs as far apart as possible on the baking sheet.
Bake in a preheated 375-degree oven for 25-30 minutes.
Remove the baking sheet to a rack and when the logs are cool enough to handle, place one on a cutting board. Using a serrated knife, cut into ½-inch slices.
Return the biscotti to the parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes. Flip over and bake the other side for another 10 minutes. The biscotti should be lightly golden brown on both sides and very crunchy.
Remove to a rack, cool, and dunk!
