Ingredients
- 2 cups walnuts
- 2 cups sliced almonds
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Once your oven reaches 400°F, turn it completely off.
- Spread nuts in a single, even layer on a cookie sheet or jelly roll pan. Don’t overcrowd the pan.
- Immediately place the cookie sheet in the oven and double-check to make sure the oven is turned off.
- Leave the nuts inside the oven until they are completely cooled. The residual heat gently and evenly toasts the nuts without burning.
- Once completely cooled, remove the nuts from the oven and store them in an airtight container.
Notes
- Store your freshly toasted nuts in airtight containers, such as Weck jars or mason jars, for maximum freshness.
- Toasted nuts will keep at room temperature in airtight containers for up to 2 weeks.
- For longer storage, toasted nuts freeze exceptionally well. Seal them tightly in freezer-safe containers or bags and freeze for up to 6 months. Defrost at room temperature before use.
