Equipment
- slotted spatula optional
- paper towels
- kitchen timer optional
Ingredients
- 4 cups raw walnuts shells removed
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon grated nutmeg optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 Celsius, or 325 degrees for an air fryer).
- Add the oil to the skillet over medium heat and allow to heat (about 1-2 minutes).
- Add the salt and cinnamon to the skillet with the oil and stir well to combine.
- Add the walnuts to the pan and stir well to coat the walnuts with the oil and seasonings.
- Place the skillet into the preheated oven (or, if using an air fryer add the walnuts to a tray of an air fryer) and cook for 7-10 minutes (5-7 minutes air fryer), or until the walnuts become very fragrant. **Note - Keep a close eye on them while they cook so they don't burn as all ovens and air fryers cook differently.
- Remove from the oven and spill the nuts out onto a paper towel lined baking sheet to absorb any potential excess oil. Cool completely and enjoy!
