The roasting time for nuts depends on the type and size of the nuts and the desired level of roasting. Here are some general guidelines for roasting commonly used nuts in an oven:
- Almonds: Roast at 350°F for 10-15 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes.
- Cashews: Roast at 350°F for 10-15 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes.
- Pecans: Roast at 350°F for 10-15 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes.
- Walnuts: Roast at 350°F for 10-15 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes.
- Pistachios: Roast at 350°F for 10-15 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes.
- Hazelnuts: Roast at 275°F for 15-20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes.
- Macadamia nuts: Roast at 300°F for 10-12 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes.
- Pine nuts: Roast at 375°F for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently.
It's important to keep an eye on the nuts while they're roasting and to remove them from the oven as soon as they're golden brown and fragrant. Over-roasting can cause the nuts to burn and become bitter.
