how to roast hazel nuts

Roasting hazelnuts at home is a simple process that can be done in an oven. Here are the steps to roast hazelnuts:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
2. Spread the hazelnuts in a single layer on a baking sheet.
3. Roast the nuts for 12-15 minutes, stirring them halfway through, until they turn golden brown and fragrant.
4. Remove the nuts from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
5. Rub the hazelnuts with a clean kitchen towel or place them in a plastic bag and shake them to remove the skins.

Roasted hazelnuts can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a month or in the freezer for up to six months.
