Toasted Nuts in the Microwave

Nifty trick I learned a little while ago- you can toast nuts (from pine to pecan) in the microwave in about two-three minutes:



  1. Spread nuts evenly in a flat microwavable dish.

  2. Cook on high power for 2 to 3 minutes for 1/2 cup of nuts or about 4 to 5 minutes for 1 cup.
  3. Stir after each minute during cooking until done.

  4. Note that everyone's microwave is different, so watch your nuts closely the first go-around!

The pine nuts I made this morning totally rocked my salad! Yeah! :-)

Do they actually brown a little?

They absolutely get brown. After the second minute you will start to smell them, and then its time to watch
