Learn to Cook – Toasting

It’s not just for toasters anymore! This is a common cooking method of applying dry heat to foods like nuts, seeds and whole spices. When toasted, they release their natural oils, and their flavors are enhanced. Toast in a dry skillet on the stovetop, or use a rimmed baking sheet in the oven, and stir frequently, keeping an eye on what you’re toasting to ensure it doesn’t burn.
