- Heat a medium to large, non-stick dry skillet over medium-low heat. Add no more than 1 cup of walnuts to the skillet in a single layer.
- Toast nuts for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally. (A little less time if they are coarsely chopped prior to toasting.)

- Recipe Tips
- Nutritional information is for 1 ounce of toasted walnuts, or roughly ¼ cup.
- Buy raw. Do not purchase nuts that are already roasted or they will overcook.
- Add flavor. Elevate the taste of your walnuts with butter, salt, or a variety of seasonings.
- Go light. Stay away from dark baking sheets to avoid burning.
- Line it. Parchment paper makes cleanup easy and enhances the crispness!
- Use your sniffer. A nutty aroma indicates the nuts are done.
- Prep extra. Store roasted walnuts in the freezer so you always have some on hand.
