Roast Hazelnuts – That’s How It Works

Step 1: Roast the hazelnuts

1. Take a nutcracker and scoop the hazelnuts out of their shells.
2. If you don’t have a nutcracker handy, you can also try it carefully with a hammer.
3. Place the hazelnuts side by side on a baking sheet and preheat the oven to 140-160 degrees.
4. Use top/bottom heat and, if desired, a piece of baking paper.
5. Roast the hazelnuts in the oven for 10 minutes. Turn the hazelnuts once or twice.

Step 2: Skin the roasted hazelnuts

1. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and cover it with a towel.
2. If you wait a few minutes for the baking tray to cool down, the hazelnuts can be easily skinned.
3. For example, you can put the hazelnuts in a sieve or towel and rub them together.
4. Tip: If the skin still cannot be removed as desired, you can put the hazelnuts back in the oven for a few minutes.
5. You can eat the roasted nuts straight away or chop them up and add them to your muesli.
