Two Ways to Toast Walnuts
Below you’ll find all the details for two terrific methods for toasting walnuts: One uses a skillet on the stove, the other a sheet pan in the oven. Whichever approach you choose is based on personal preference, but I find the oven method best for bigger batches with more even results. When I need just a handful and don’t want to fire up the oven, I opt for the skillet method.
How to Store Walnuts
Once your walnuts are toasted and cooled, store them in a jar or tightly covered container. Walnuts keep best in the fridge or freezer. It’s worth noting that toasted nuts are a bit more perishable than raw. Shelf life varies considerably, so it’s best to judge freshness by taste and smell. If they lose their sweetness and begin to smell “off,” they’re likely rancid and should be thrown out.

If the walnuts brown too quickly, pull the skillet off the heat or reduce the heat. Did you love the recipe? Give us some stars below!
