- FOR OVEN TOASTING, this method is good for large amounts as well as small amounts.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Do not chop or mince the walnut halves before toasting.
- Place nuts in a single layer in an ungreased, shallow pan or rimmed cookie sheet in order to prevent spillage.
- Bake 5 to 10 minutes or until the nuts are golden brown.
- Stir or shake the pan during toasting in order to aid in their browning evenly.
- Be careful not to burn the walnuts.
- Remove the pan to cool and sprinkle with optional salt.
- Toasted, deep golden-colored walnuts will continue to brown slightly after they're removed from the oven.
- FOR STOVE-TOP TOASTING, this method is good for small amounts.
- Do not chop or mince the walnut halves before toasting.
- Heat walnuts in a dry, heavy skillet over medium heat for 1 to 2 minutes or until golden brown and smell toasted.
- Since the nuts will burn easily in a skillet, you must stir constantly to ensure even toasting until the nuts turn a rich, golden brown.
- Remove walnuts to a plate or bowl to cool and sprinkle with optional salt.

I use the stovetop method for toasting pecans when making recipe#309876. Stirring constantly is VERY important to make sure the nuts don't burn.

There I am sitting in front of the computer, one of my favorite spots in the house. When I'm not at the computer, I enjoy cooking and entertaining.
See my icon? It is an old Royal typewriter. My father had one just like it that he gave me when I was in college. It had one key that stuck, but I typed all my term papers on that old thing. Whenever I see that icon I remember those happy days.
