Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Raw macadamia nuts
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Spread the raw macadamia nuts evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Ensure the nuts are in a single layer for even toasting.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven on the middle rack.
Toast the macadamia nuts for 5-8 minutes, checking frequently after the 5-minute mark to prevent burning. Stir the nuts with a spatula halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning.
Once the nuts are golden and aromatic, remove the baking sheet from the oven.
Transfer the toasted nuts to a plate or a cool surface to stop the cooking process immediately.
Allow the nuts to cool completely before serving, storing, or using them in recipes. They will become crispier as they cool.
Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks, or freeze for longer storage.
