Microwave Toasted Pine Nuts

By Katecooks

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup pine nuts
• 1 teas of salt
• small paper bag

Preparation

Step 1

1. Rinse half a cup of pine nuts in cold water

2. Drain, then toss in a teaspoon of salt. That’s right, you’re making a brine. But don’t worry about over-salting as any excess will fall off later, post-roast as it were.

3. Move to a small paper bag, fold over and microwave on high for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes.

4. When the nuts are done pull and allow to sit for one minute before tasting. You may need another 30 seconds or a minute but it’s better to be a little under-cooked than overcooked.
