• If you’re using oil, butter or seasonings, begin by coating the hazelnuts with the oil or butter in a mixing bowl, and then coating them with seasoning.

Roasting Hazelnuts in the Air Fryer:

• Preheat your air fryer to 300°F/150°C
• When the air fryer is ready, add the hazelnuts in a single layer to the air fryer basket, and air fry for 12 minutes.
• Halfway through the cooking time, stir the hazelnuts and check how toasted they are. Adjust the remaining time by reducing it if needed.
• Allow your roasted hazelnuts to cool before peeling them.

Roasting Hazelnuts in a Pan:

• Heat a large skillet over medium-low heat.
• When the pan is hot, add the hazelnuts to the skillet and roast them for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Allow them to cool a little before peeling.

Roasting Hazelnuts in the Oven:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F/175°C.
• Spread the hazelnuts out on a baking sheet. You can line it with parchment paper for easy cleaning if you’re using oil or seasonings.
• Roast the hazelnuts in the oven for 13-15 minutes, stirring and checking halfway through.
• Adjust the time as needed, adding or reducing by a minute or two depending on how roasted they look halfway through.

How to Remove Roasted Hazelnut Skins:

• Note: If you've seasoned them, this will remove the seasoning so skip this step!
• Once the hazelnuts have cooled to touch, rub them between your fingers to remove the skins, or rub them with a paper towel.
• Some skins may be a bit stubborn to remove. If I’m struggling with one I just let it be and move on.
• You can also wrap them in a kitchen towel and let them sit for a minute or two before rubbing them in the towel. They seem to loosen easier with the steam created in the towel.
