Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Pine nuts
Instructions
Place a dry, non-stick skillet over medium-low heat.
Add the pine nuts to the skillet, spreading them out in a single, even layer.
Toast the pine nuts for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently with a wooden spoon or spatula to ensure even browning.
Watch the pine nuts closely to prevent burning; they should turn light golden brown and release a nutty aroma when done.
Once toasted to your liking, immediately transfer the pine nuts to a plate to cool, as they can continue to cook in the hot pan.
Use the toasted pine nuts as a topping for salads, pastas, or other dishes, or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
