Roasting nuts in an air fryer is a quick and easy way to get evenly roasted nuts with a crispy texture. Here's how you can do it:
-
Preheat your air fryer to 325°F (160°C) for a few minutes.
-
In the meantime, spread your nuts evenly in the air fryer basket, making sure not to overcrowd it. You can use any kind of nuts that you like, such as almonds, cashews, peanuts, or walnuts.
-
Place the basket into the air fryer and set the timer for 8-12 minutes, depending on the type and quantity of nuts you're roasting.
-
Stir the nuts every 2-3 minutes to ensure even roasting and prevent burning. You can also add some seasoning, such as salt, pepper, cinnamon, or honey, to taste.
-
Check the nuts frequently towards the end of the roasting time to avoid over-roasting. The nuts are done when they are fragrant and golden brown.
-
Once the nuts are roasted to your desired level of doneness, remove the basket from the air fryer and transfer the nuts to a bowl or plate to cool.
-
Let the nuts cool completely before storing them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
Roasting nuts in an air fryer is a healthy and easy way to add crunch and flavor to your favorite nuts. Just be careful not to over-roast or burn them, and adjust the time and temperature according to the type and quantity of nuts you're roasting.
