1
Measure the Pine Nuts
Using a measuring cup, measure out 1 cup of pine nuts. Make sure they are fresh and not stale for the best flavor.
2
Choose Optional Seasonings
Decide if you want to season your pine nuts. You can use olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder for added flavor.

3
Preheat the Pan
Place a dry skillet or frying pan on medium heat and allow it to warm up for about 2 minutes.
4
Add Pine Nuts
Once the skillet is hot, add the 1 cup of pine nuts in a single layer. Make sure not to overcrowd the pan to ensure even toasting.
5
Toast the Nuts
Toast the pine nuts, stirring frequently, for about 3-5 minutes or until they are golden brown and fragrant. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.
6
Season (Optional)
If desired, drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the toasted pine nuts and sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Stir to combine evenly.

7
Serve and Enjoy
Remove the toasted pine nuts from the heat and transfer them to a plate. Let them cool slightly before serving, or use them as a topping for salads, pasta, or any dish you like.
