Add the pine nuts to the skillet, spreading them out in a single, even layer.
Step 3
Toast the pine nuts for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently with a wooden spoon or spatula to ensure even browning.
Step 4
Watch the pine nuts closely to prevent burning; they should turn light golden brown and release a nutty aroma when done.
Step 5
Once toasted to your liking, immediately transfer the pine nuts to a plate to cool, as they can continue to cook in the hot pan.
