Notes

  • Choose shelled nuts and check the pieces for any bits of shell before cooking. 
  • Spread the walnuts in a single layer on a baking sheet. This ensures even toasting and allows the heat to reach all sides of the nuts.
  • Nuts can quickly go from golden to burnt; keep a close eye during the toasting process.
  • Skip added oils; walnuts have natural oils that intensify during toasting.
  • Transfer hot walnuts to a cool surface to stop the toasting process and avoid overcooking.
  • It's often better to toast walnuts in smaller batches rather than trying to toast a large quantity all at once. This ensures that each walnut gets evenly toasted.
  • Trust your senses; a fragrant, nutty aroma indicates they're perfectly toasted.
