The roasting time for nuts can vary depending on the type of nut, the oven temperature, and personal preference. Here are some general guidelines:
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and spread the nuts in a single layer on a baking sheet.
-
Roast the nuts for 10-15 minutes, stirring or shaking the pan every 5 minutes to ensure even roasting.
-
Check the nuts frequently towards the end of the roasting time to avoid burning them. You can tell the nuts are done when they are fragrant and lightly browned.
-
Remove the nuts from the oven and let them cool completely before eating or storing.
Note: The roasting time may need to be adjusted for different types of nuts. For example, pine nuts roast faster than almonds, so they may only need 5-7 minutes in the oven. Additionally, some nuts like cashews and pistachios may be pre-roasted and salted, so they may not need additional roasting time.
