Toasting (and Glazing) Nuts and Seeds

Toast nuts or seeds on baking sheet in a degrees F ( degrees C) oven for about minutes Mix nuts on

sheet and continue to bake watching to make sure they do not burn The total amount of time needed depends

on the type of nut (pine nuts toast very quickly whereas almonds take longer) and on how toasted you want the

nuts I toast them on a low temperature because most nuts when they are near done go quickly from light

golden brown to burnt A lower temperature slows down the process reducing the chances of ending up with

burned nuts

If seasoning the nuts with a salty liquid like tamari soy sauce or ume vinegar (see "Glossary of Ingredients" for more

information about these ingredients) splash this over the nuts near the end of toasting mix thoroughly to coat all

nuts and then if needed bake a few more minutes to dry the nuts out again

If glazing the nuts with a sweetener (such maple syrup and/or sucanat) (which is obviously best for desserts) and/or

with a liqueur (like Sambuca) follow the same directions as for a salty liquid but do not expect them to become

as dry in the oven if using significant quantities of liquid sweetener (in drier climates they will dry out completely

when they sit outside the oven for a while) If the nuts are very sticky and the glaze will not "dry" you can place

the nuts in the refrigerator (on a parchment paper covered baking sheet) to "dry/"freeze" the glaze onto the nuts

Another option for toasting and glazing is described in the recipe " FrangelicoGlazed Toasted Hazelnuts"
