Tips for Toasting Nuts

Toasting nuts is a great way to bring out their flavor. To toast, simply spread the nuts out on an ungreased baking sheet and bake at 300°, turning the nuts frequently, until they are browned (different nuts will have different cooking times). Watch them carefully to be sure they don't burn or overcook.
