Take pecan pie and other desserts from good to out-of-this-world with this guide to toasting nuts in the oven, on the stovetop, or in the microwave.
As you sprint from oven to stove to freezer on Thanksgiving , multiple timers blaring, you may whisper to yourself: “Do I really need to toast the pecans for my pecan pie like the recipe calls for?” Such a finicky step in the scheme of things, right? We’ll put it this way: Your pie will benefit from toasted nuts, but it probably won’t fail in their absence. “Toasting pecans takes the nuts from slightly chalky to deeply nutty, buttery, and snappy.
The cooking time is roughly 7–10 minutes, but Elise says most of that time is spent waiting for the pan to heat up. “The actual toasting takes a minute or two at most.” She also advises using your eyes and nose to discern readiness. “I know they're done when they smell toasty and a little sweet, and their color has darkened just a tad—I err on the side of under-toasted since pecans can get really bitter if they burn,” she says.
