Oven Roasted Hazelnut Calories

Let the oven-roasted hazelnuts cool, then rub them inside a clean kitchen towel to loosen the thin skins. The skins do not need to come off completely; any that remain are edible, although they can taste slightly bitter.

Both oven-roasted and raw hazelnuts can be nutritious choices. Roasting deepens their flavor and makes them crisp, while prolonged or very high heat can reduce some heat-sensitive compounds. Choosing unsalted oven-roasted hazelnuts avoids added sodium.

Cool oven-roasted hazelnuts completely, then keep them in an airtight container in a cool, dark place. Heat, air, and moisture can make their oils go rancid faster; discard them if they develop a sharp, paint-like or stale-oil smell.

Yes, oven-roasted hazelnuts freeze well. Let them cool completely and pack them in an airtight, moisture-resistant container or freezer bag. Dividing them into smaller portions lets you take out what you need without repeatedly thawing the rest.

Yes, the thin brown skin on oven-roasted hazelnuts is edible. It can add a slightly bitter note, so rub the cooled nuts in a clean towel if you prefer to remove some of it.

Oven-roasted hazelnuts do not cause weight gain on their own, but they are energy-dense and easy to snack on in large amounts. Serving a portion in a bowl instead of eating from the bag can help keep intake in check.

Oven-roasted hazelnuts can taste bitter if they are over-roasted, or if their natural thin skins are still on. Roast until fragrant rather than deeply browned, and rub off some of the skins if you prefer a milder taste.

Oven-roasted hazelnuts add crunch and a toasted flavor to oatmeal, yogurt, salads, vegetables, and baked goods. Use them whole, chopped, or ground; adding them near the end of cooking helps preserve their texture.

Yes, you can season oven-roasted hazelnuts with salt or spices. Add dry seasonings while the nuts are warm so they adhere more easily. Watch sugary coatings closely in the oven because they can scorch before the nuts are done.
