There’s nothing better than a handful of warm roasted nuts that are slightly salted. Not only do certain nuts contain heart healthy Omega-3 oils, but they are also a great source of fiber and a healthy alternative to potato chips when eaten in moderation. Here’s how to roast nuts.

Ingredients:

• Walnuts, pecans, filberts, and Brazil nuts, in desired quantities
• Vegetable oil
• Salt to taste

Method:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Crack the nuts.
• Scald the meats and drain.
• Rub the coating off.
• Pour enough oil in a good-sized baking pan to cover the bottom; place the nut meats in oiled pan; thickly dust with salt.
• Bake (“roast”) in preheated oven, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown, about 20 minutes.
• Drain on crumpled paper and add more salt if desired.
