Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 cups hazelnuts (raw/shelled)
  • 2 teaspoons avocado oil (or olive oil)
  • ½ teaspoon salt (add more to taste or use one of the optional spice blends below.)

Optional Spice Blends

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 325°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Add the raw hazelnuts to the prepared baking sheet, then pour the avocado oil over the hazelnuts and stir well until completely coated. Sprinkle with salt or optional seasonings, stir, then spread the hazelnuts into a single layer on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Place the baking sheet onto the center rack of your preheated oven. Roast for 10 minutes, stir, then roast for an additional 5 to 10 minutes, checking after 5 minutes so they do not burn.
  • Once the hazelnuts are roasted to your liking, carefully remove them from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet, at least 10 – 15 minutes. Sprinkle with additional salt if desired.
  • Serve and enjoy, add them to your favorite recipe, or store them in an airtight container to save for later.

Notes

The recipe card shows how to make salted roasted hazelnuts or spiced hazelnuts. The oil helps salt and seasonings stick and also roasts the hazelnuts faster, creating a darker roast with more depth of flavor and crunch. I have also included how to make unsalted dry-roast hazelnuts below.
Hazelnuts are perfect for snacking, and wonderful additions to breakfast recipes, savory dinner recipes, and sweet dessert recipes.

Dry Roasted Hazelnuts

To make unsalted dry-roasted hazelnuts, simply follow the instructions above, but omit the oil and salt. You may need to add an extra few minutes to the roasting time when making dry-roasted hazelnuts.
