Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup nuts (walnuts, almonds, pecans, etc.)
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) if using the oven method.
Step 2: If using the oven method, spread the nuts evenly on a baking sheet in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding.
Step 3: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Toast for 5-10 minutes, checking and stirring the nuts every 3 minutes to prevent burning. Remove from the oven once the nuts are golden brown and fragrant.
Step 4: For the stove-top method, use a dry skillet large enough to hold the nuts in a single layer. Heat the pan over medium heat.
Step 5: Add the nuts to the hot skillet and toast them, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon or spatula to ensure even browning. This process should take 3-5 minutes. Watch closely as nuts can burn quickly.
Step 6: Once the nuts are golden brown and aromatic, remove them immediately from the heat and transfer to a cool plate to stop the cooking process.
Step 7: Allow the toasted nuts to cool completely before using or storing them in an airtight container.
