Ingredients

1 cup Raw macadamia nuts

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

Spread the raw macadamia nuts evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Ensure the nuts are in a single layer for even toasting.

Step 3

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven on the middle rack.

Step 4

Toast the macadamia nuts for 5-8 minutes, checking frequently after the 5-minute mark to prevent burning. Stir the nuts with a spatula halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning.

Step 5

Once the nuts are golden and aromatic, remove the baking sheet from the oven.

Step 6

Transfer the toasted nuts to a plate or a cool surface to stop the cooking process immediately.

Step 7

Allow the nuts to cool completely before serving, storing, or using them in recipes. They will become crispier as they cool.

Step 8

Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks, or freeze for longer storage.
