Roasting nuts in an air fryer is a quick and easy method that produces evenly roasted nuts with a crispy texture. Here's how to do it:
-
Preheat your air fryer to 325°F (160°C).
-
Spread the nuts in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Do not overcrowd the basket as this will affect the nuts' roasting and may result in unevenly roasted nuts.
-
Set the air fryer 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.
-
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. Roasted nuts can be stored at room temperature for up to 2 weeks or in the fridge for up to a month.
Note: Different types of nuts may require different roasting times and temperatures, so adjust the time and temperature accordingly. Also, it's important to monitor the nuts closely to avoid burning or over-roasting.
