Toasting Nuts In The Microwave

A little bit of heat can transform raw nuts into roasty, toasty, super crunchy versions of their former selves. We often cook them in the oven or on the stove top, but the microwave does a good job too. Just put them in a single layer on a plate and cook them on high at 30 second intervals. A plate of walnuts toasted up in 3 minutes, almonds and hazelnuts both took about 2 minutes. Remember that microwaves vary widely, so pay attention and let your nose be the guide. As soon as the nuts begin to smell toasted, they are ready! Enjoy!

Gives a different meaning to chestnuts roasting on an open fire.  Hope 2013 is a great year for you.

Morning Sunshine-I have never toasted nuts in the oven or microwave. I just eat them out of the can. You would love Richie Naggar talk about cooking of nuts.

I wonder, does the microwave alter the nutritional value at all? I am going to have to research that. Sounds interesting.

Good question Barbara-  nuts do have nutritional value, I wouldn't want to change that.  I learned yesterday they are high in calories too.  Say it's not so!!!!!
