Ingredients:

  • 270g raw hazelnuts, shelled and unsalted

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 175°C and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Note: This ensures a steady, even heat environment from the moment the nuts enter.
  2. Spread the 270g of raw hazelnuts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Note: Overcrowding will cause the nuts to steam rather than roast.
  3. Bake for 12 minutes total, but make sure to slide the tray out and give it a firm shake at the 6 minute mark.
  4. Watch for the skins to start showing tiny cracks and listen for a very faint tinkling sound as they dry.
  5. Immediately pour the hot hazelnuts onto the center of your prepared kitchen towel.
  6. Fold the edges of the towel over the nuts to create a sealed steam pouch.
  7. Let the nuts sit and steam for exactly 1 minute. Until the skins feel loose and papery.
  8. Rub the nuts vigorously against each other through the fabric for 30 seconds. Until the dark skins fall away to reveal the ivory kernels.
  9. Transfer the naked nuts back to a clean plate or tray.
  10. Allow them to cool completely. Until they reach a brittle, glass like shatter when bitten.
