How To Toast Walnuts

Toasting walnuts ahead adds an extra layer of depth to recipes. Any time it’s included in the process, do not over look this key step.

The Technique

Arrange 1 cup walnut halves on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 8 to 11 minutes or until fragrant. Cool completely. Use as directed in recipe applications.
