As with any nuts, toasting pine nuts brings out a wonderful flavor that takes them to a whole new level of nutty taste. I use them in my Quinoa Pilaf, Basil Pesto and as a salad topping. Click on the links for the recipes. It’s simple to do and only takes 8 minutes!
Here’s how I do it.
Toasting Pine Nuts
300°
Preheat your oven to 300 degrees.
On a baking sheet, spread the pine nuts in a single layer. For easy clean up, line the baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper. No washing needed!
Put the baking sheet in the preheated oven for 8 minutes, lightly shaking them once about half way through. This will prevent the bottom of those pine nuts from getting too brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool.
Store them in an air tight container, marked with contents and date, in the freezer.
This has to be the shortest post I’ve ever done.
