Step 1

Larger nuts can toast directly in the air fryer basket because they won’t fall through the perforated tray. However, if you’re toasting smaller nuts, such as pine nuts, you will need to use a 6 to 7-inch-long heat-safe baking dish or cake pan set inside the air fryer basket. The baking dish needs to be heat-safe (also called ovenproof), such as glass, ceramic, metal or silicone.

Step 2

Once the nuts are finished toasting, carefully remove them to a plate or cutting board to cool completely. It’s best to not use a bowl because the nuts will be stacked and not easily accessible to proper air circulation.

Step 3

Add 1 cup raw nut of your choice to the basket of a 6-quart air fryer or 6- to 7-inch-long heat-safe baking dish or cake pan (if needed). Cook at 300 degrees F until golden brown and toasted, giving the basket or baking dish a good shake halfway through, according to the timing below. Transfer the toasted nuts to a plate or cutting board to cool, then use as desired.

Step 4

Cook’s Note Raw whole nuts still in the skin, such as hazelnuts and redskin peanuts, should be toasted then rubbed to remove the skins. To do this, place the toasted nuts while still warm in a clean kitchen towel, then rub together until all the skins have fallen off.
