Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams raw hazelnuts
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, combine the olive oil and honey. Stir until well blended.
Add the ground cumin, paprika, sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano to the bowl. Mix well to form a spiced glaze.
Toss the raw hazelnuts into the bowl and stir until all the nuts are evenly coated with the glaze.
Spread the coated hazelnuts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 12-15 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting.
Remove the hazelnuts from the oven once they are golden brown and aromatic. Be careful not to let them burn.
Allow the hazelnuts to cool completely on the baking sheet. As they cool, they will become crisp.
Transfer the cooled hazelnuts to a serving bowl or an airtight container for storage. Enjoy your Turkish Hazelnuts as a snack or appetizer!
