Toasted Hazelnuts

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

2. 2

   Spread the nuts out on a metal baking pan or a large sheet pan with ridges.

3. 3

   Bake for 10-12 minutes or until they are very hot and fragrant.

4. 4

   Carefully dump nuts into a dish towel which you've spread across the counter - a ridged dish towel or one with some sort of embroidery works well because it provides more friction.

5. 5

   Bring the ends of the dish towel up around the still-hot hazelnuts and wrap them up like a present.

6. 6

   Using your hands, rub them between the towel and the work surface so that the friction created by the rubbing loosens the skin.

7. 7

   Discard the skins and enjoy the toasted hazelnuts whole or crush them for your favorite recipe.
