Toasted Pine Nuts

Toasting pine nuts brings out their subtle, nutty flavor. Because they are so small and oily, they go from toasted to burnt in no time, so keep a close eye on them. Pine nuts turn rancid very quickly so try to buy them from a source with high turnover and store them in the refrigerator.

Ingredients

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    To toast pine nuts, adjust the oven rack to the middle position and preheat the oven to 325°F.

    Step 2

    Scatter the amount of pine nuts that you need for your recipe on a baking sheet and place it in the oven to toast the pine nuts, shaking the pan occasionally, for 8 to 10 minutes, or until they are fragrant and golden brown. Remove the pine nuts from the oven and set them aside to cool to room temperature.
