Instructions
Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Bake
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the nuts are lightly toasted and fragrant. Be sure to stir the nuts halfway through the baking time to ensure even toasting.
Cool and Serve
