Ingredients

• 200 grams raw hazelnuts
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the olive oil and honey. Stir until well blended.

Step 3

Add the ground cumin, paprika, sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano to the bowl. Mix well to form a spiced glaze.

Step 4

Toss the raw hazelnuts into the bowl and stir until all the nuts are evenly coated with the glaze.

Step 5

Spread the coated hazelnuts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 6

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 12-15 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting.

Step 7

Remove the hazelnuts from the oven once they are golden brown and aromatic. Be careful not to let them burn.

Step 8

Allow the hazelnuts to cool completely on the baking sheet. As they cool, they will become crisp.

Step 9

Transfer the cooled hazelnuts to a serving bowl or an airtight container for storage. Enjoy your Turkish Hazelnuts as a snack or appetizer!
