Complements: Roasted Hazelnuts

Liberally oil a cup or so of raw hazelnuts with coconut oil. Roast at 300 degrees F for 5 to 8 minutes i.e. basically roast them until they smell great and have begun to brown some. Remove from oven and sprinkle with sea salt. I used Celtic sea salt, but a smoked salt or the Black pyramidal Baltic sea salt would also be great! Enjoy. (They’re wonderful while still warm!)

Note: while you don’t want to taste the salt in most dishes you make, these nuts gain much of their deliciousness and distinctiveness from  the grains of salt that cling to their exterior. Put a bowl of these out at your next cocktail party or game night and they’ll be gone quickly. – They’re also great as a late night snack, as evidenced by the time of day that I posted this. –

Cheers!
