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.

Are roasted hazelnuts healthy?

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.

Are roasted hazelnuts gluten-free?

Yes, roasted hazelnuts are gluten-free and safe for those with gluten intolerances.

Description

Sweet and buttery in flavour, roasted hazelnuts make a perfect addition to baking, desserts, and many other dishes. This is a super easy guide on how to roast and peel hazelnuts.

Ingredients

Scale

1 cup (130 g) raw hazelnuts

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

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.

Notes

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.
