Dry Roasting Walnuts in the Oven
Preheat the oven. Turn on the oven and set it to 350ºF/180ºC.
Place walnuts on a cookie sheet or shallow baking pan. Line the pan with parchment paper or kitchen foil. Put the nuts on the pan in a single layer. If you don't have parchment paper or foil you can just put the walnuts right on the pan.
Roast the walnuts. Put the pan in the oven for 8 to 10 minutes. Check the walnuts frequently to make sure they don't burn.
Remove the walnuts. Take the baking pan out of the oven after 8 to 10 minutes or when the nuts are golden brown.
Roasting Walnuts in the Oven with Oil
Preheat the oven. Turn on the oven and set it to 350ºF/180ºC.
Choose an oil. Use walnut oil to add additional walnut flavor or pick any neutral oil like grapeseed oil or vegetable oil. Try using olive oil to add a different flavor.
Toss the walnuts in a small amount of oil. Use just enough oil to coat the nuts evenly. Start with one teaspoon of oil and add more as needed.
Put the walnuts on a cookie sheet or shallow baking pan. Arrange the nuts on the pan in a single layer.
Roast the walnuts. Put the pan in the oven for 8 to 10 minutes. Check the walnuts frequently to make sure they don't burn. Stir the nuts part way through roasting to redistribute them so they cook evenly.
Remove the walnuts. Take the baking pan out of the oven after 8 to 10 minutes or when the nuts are golden brown.
Roasting Walnuts on the Stove Top
Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Use a pan that is thick and heavy so that it conducts heat evenly. A thin pan may cause the nuts to burn before they are roasted through.
Add the walnuts. Put the walnuts in the hot dry pan. Stir them constantly to avoid burning.
Roast the nuts for about five minutes. When the nuts are golden brown they are done roasting.
Remove the walnuts. Take the walnuts off the heat once they are golden brown.
Roasting Spiced Walnuts
Preheat the oven. Turn on the oven and set it to 300ºF/150ºC.
Beat one egg white. Separate an egg white from the yolk and discard the yolk. Put the egg white in a small bowl and beat it with a whisk or fork until it is frothy.
Choose spices. Pick your favorite mix of spices and add them to the beaten egg white. Try using a pinch each of allspice, cumin, and chili powder. Add curry to make curried walnuts. Use sugar and cinnamon to make sweet roasted nuts. Dry herbs work great too, try rosemary with walnuts.
Toss the walnuts in the egg white mixture. Add the nuts to the egg whites and stir until they are coated.
Spread the nuts on a baking pan. Put the nuts on a baking pan and spread them out so that they are in a single even layer.
Roast the nuts. Put the baking pan in the oven at 300ºF/150ºC for 15 minutes.
Remove the walnuts. Take the pan out of the oven and stir the nuts around to redistribute them and break apart any nuts that have stuck together.
Reduce the heat. Turn the oven down to 250ºF/120ºC.
Return the walnuts to the oven. Put the nuts back in the oven and bake them for about 10 minutes more at 250ºF/120ºC until they are medium brown.
Remove the walnuts. Take the pan out of the oven and stir the nuts to break apart any that have stuck together.
