Roasting or Toasting Nuts

To oven-roast shelled whole or chopped nuts: spread the nuts in a single layer on a shallow pan or baking sheet with edges. Bake at 350°F/175°C, shaking the sheet occasionally until the nuts are golden, 7-12 minutes, depending on size. Leave them to cool.

To toast nuts: spread the nuts in a single layer on a shallow pan or baking sheet with edges and broil them about 6 in/15 cm from the heat. Turn the nuts frequently until they are golden, 3-5 minutes. Note Nuts scorch very quickly, so keep a careful eye on them while roasting or toasting.
