Roasted Hazelnuts
Robin grew up with roasted filberts. Early on in our relationship, when we were trying to establish our own traditions, we found that we could not find filberts anywhere. Eventually, we figured out that most people refer to them as hazelnuts. They are very simple to prepare and fun to crack open - perfect for holiday gatherings. Originally served as part of: Leftovers Before Thanksgiving.
Ingredients
- 16 ounces large, whole, in shell hazelnuts (Diamond)
Instructions
We begin by preheating the oven to 400 degrees. We spread our nuts on a foil-covered sheet pan.
When the oven is hot, we put in the nuts and roast for 15 minutes. Using potholders, we shake the pan and then continue roasting in the oven. We cook for another 5 minutes until desired doneness.
We pour the cooked nuts to a large serving bowl and let cool. When cool, we crack open with our nut crackers and enjoy!

What's a kid job?
A Kid job is a step kids can help with, with a grown-up nearby, not one they do on their own. Every kid is different, so go by what your child can do rather than by age. Roughly:
- Little ones (about 2 to 4) can stir, pour in ingredients a grown-up has measured, tear lettuce, wash vegetables and sprinkle toppings.
- Older kids (about 5 to 8) can also measure and level, crack eggs, whisk, roll and cut out dough, and put things together.
- Bigger kids can read the recipe aloud, keep track of the timer, and take on more of the cooking as they're ready.
Steps with a knife, microplane, skewers, stove, oven, grill or hot oil, or with raw meat, poultry or seafood, are marked Grown-up. Kids can still watch those, from a safe distance.
Heat the oven to 400°F and spread the nuts on a foil-lined sheet pan.
Grown-up
Roast 15 minutes. Shake the pan using potholders, then roast 5 minutes more.
Kid job
Pour into a serving bowl to cool, then crack them open with nutcrackers.
