- Simply delicious - roast cashew nuts

Both variants produce equally good results, although roasting in the pan is usually faster and is more recommendable than the oven for sensitive nut kernels.
Roasting in the oven
Hazelnuts, walnuts, almonds and macadamia in particular develop their full aroma when roasted in the oven. Try it.
- Preheat the oven to 170 degrees.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the nuts on the tray, loosely spaced, not too close together.
- Roast for about 15 minutes. The nuts should be golden brown and fragrant.
After the roasting process, let the hot nuts cool down. Warm hazelnuts can be easily removed from their brown skin. Simply rub the nuts between your hands.
Roasting in the pan
Roasting in the pan should be done without fat if possible. Simply put the nuts in the hot pan and toast them, turning them several times, until they are a nice brown color and smell nice. This is the case after about ten to fifteen minutes. Roasting in the pan is particularly suitable for pine nuts, as the kernels are quite delicate and would burn in the oven.
Refine roasted nuts
As soon as the nuts are the right color in the oven or pan, they are placed in a bowl to cool. Now the nuts can be seasoned according to your taste.
Those with a sweet tooth love a mixture of sugar and cinnamon, which is simply spread under the hot nuts and mixed well.
Lovers of spicy variations are best put together their special blend of spices beforehand. Here some examples:
- salt and pepper
- Soy sauce
- Curry and thyme
- hot or rose paprika
- Chili or garlic powder
- Dried herbs
- also roasted onions and coarse sea salt
One tablespoon full of spice is enough for about 300 g of nuts. The nuts refined in this way should cool down well before consumption. This allows all moisture to soak in and the nuts become nice and crunchy. A bag full of self-roasted and seasoned nuts is a wonderful souvenir when visiting friends.
