Notes

  • Overall, the biggest tip is to keep watching the hazelnuts because they can scorch quickly!
  • The roasted hazelnuts can be stored for up to 6 months in an airtight container in the fridge. They can also be frozen.
  • Let them cool completely, no need to burn your tongue! It's worth the wait to let them cool! 
  • Don’t like the skins? Remove them by rubbing with a clean kitchen towel once cool!
  • Spice it up! You could also add some spices of choice to the nuts once roasted.
  • Roast alongside some other nuts and add some dried fruit to make your own healthy trail mix!
