While these nuts are also enjoyable when eaten raw, roasted hazelnuts are even better because the roasting enhances the nuts' natural sweetness. Buttery and sweet, they make a fantastic addition to baking, desserts, salads, and many other dishes. And they are so quick and easy to make.
Hazelnuts, also known as filberts or cobnuts, have a very useful flavour because it is strong enough to hold its own against other strong flavours without getting lost. This is why they so popularly used with chocolate. You can see this in my delicious チョコレートヘーゼルナッツクッキー; the flavour combination is amazing.
Hazelnuts are encased in a bitter skin that is usually removed before eating. However, if you follow these easy steps for roasting hazelnuts, the skins will basically fall off with just a little rubbing.
What You Will Need
- Raw hazelnuts
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper
作り方
Preheat your oven to 350°F/180°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper (this is optional but makes clean up really easy later). Spread the hazelnuts out over the baking sheet in an even layer. Bake for 15 minutes.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and place it on a heat-safe surface. Allow the hazelnuts to completely cool. The nuts are still steaming inside of their skins during the cooling period.
Once your roasted hazelnuts have cooled, it's time to peel them removing the skins. You can do this different ways:
Option 1: Take a handful of nuts into a clean, rough dish towel and just rub them with the towel. The skins will flake off.
Option 2: Take a handful of the nuts between two hands and gently rub them together.
Whichever method you choose, repeat it in batches until you have peeled all of your roasted hazelnuts.
コツ: Removing the peel from hazelnuts is easy but it can be messy. Make sure to do it over a cloth, some paper towel, or a tray for easy clean up and disposal of the peels.
保存
You can store any extras in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 6 months, or frozen in a freezer bag for up to a year. I like to have them ready and on hand for easy salads or impromptu baking.
What is the difference between roasted and toasted?
Although these expressions are often used interchangeably, there is a difference. Toasted nuts are cooked at a high temperature for a short duration to brown them on the outside. Roasted nuts, on the other hand, are cooked at a lower temperature for a longer period of time until they are cooked through.
These hazelnuts are cooked through using the roasting method, however, they are also browned on the outside so they can be used if a recipe calls for toasted hazelnuts, as well.
お召し上がり方
- A topping for salads.
- Chopped up and used in baked goods, such as breads, muffins, cakes, pies, or cookies. Especially those with chocolate.

FAQ
Yes, like many nuts, their high fat content can cause them to go bad fairly quickly. If the hazelnuts develop a bitter taste, have an off odour, or exhibit any mold, they are likely rancid and should not be eaten. Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. If you want to keep them for longer than 6 months, you can freeze them for up to a year.
Roasted hazelnuts are packed with nutrients (vitamins, antioxidants, healthy fats) and have many health benefits, such as reducing inflammation, improving blood sugar levels, and helping to regulate blood pressure. The roasting process does not remove nutrients from hazelnuts and they are nutritionally equivalent to eating the raw version.
Yes, roasted hazelnuts are gluten-free and safe for those with gluten intolerances.
