Instructions
- If using butter, oil, or seasoning ingredients, toss nuts in the mixture until lightly coated.
Toasting Hazelnuts in the Oven
- Preheat oven to 350 °F. Line a large, lightly colored baking sheet with parchment paper. Place hazelnuts in a single layer on the sheet.
- Toast in preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, stirring halfway through.
Toasting Hazelnuts in a Pan
- Heat a medium to large, non-stick dry skillet over medium-low heat. Add no more than 1 cup of nuts to the skillet in a single layer.
- Toast for 5-8 minutes, stirring occasionally.
How to Peel Hazelnuts
- Once roasted, let sit for 1 minute until cool to the touch.
- Rub hazelnut together using your hands to release any loose skins.
- Alternatively, you can place the hazelnuts in a dish towel. Close it tight and let them steam for 1-2 minutes. (This helps to loosen up the peel even more.)
- While still in the towel, rub the hazelnuts to remove any loose skins.
Notes
- Storage Instructions:
- Toasted hazelnuts do not need to be refrigerated if storing for less than a few weeks. Store roasted nuts in a cool, dry place for the best results. Roasted, or toasted, hazelnuts will last for up to 1-2 weeks if stored at room temperature and up to 3 to 4 months in the refrigerator. To freeze, seal in an airtight container for up to a year. Good nuts will emit a nutty aroma, whereas rancid hazelnuts give off a scent similar to paint thinner or rotten eggs.
- Recipe Tips
- Nutritional information is for 1 ounce of toasted hazelnuts, or roughly ¼ cup.
- Raw is best. Be sure to get plain, raw hazelnuts at the store or they will burn.
- Sugar and spice. To add some flavor to the hazelnuts when roasting, opt for butter or oil along with your favorite spices.
- Avoid dark. Stick with a light-colored baking sheet so the hazelnuts don't burn.
- Give some pressure. Use your hands to gently but firmly rub the nuts to remove the skin, or you can use a dish towel.
- Get creative. These are deceptively delicious! Make a Nutella spread or replace other nuts, like walnuts or pecans, in your favorite recipes.
