Preheat your air fryer to 325°F (160°C). This ensures that it's ready for toasting the pine nuts.

Place the pine nuts in a single layer in the air fryer basket. No need to add any oil or seasoning at this point.

Air fry the pine nuts for about 3-5 minutes. Shake or stir them every minute to ensure even toasting.

The pine nuts are ready when they turn a light golden brown color and become fragrant. Adjust the cooking time if needed.

Remove the toasted pine nuts from the air fryer immediately to prevent further cooking.

Allow them to cool for a few minutes before using or storing.

If desired, you can season the roasted pine nuts with a pinch of salt or your favorite herbs and spices after toasting while they're still warm.

Once completely cooled, store the roasted pine nuts in an airtight container in a cool, dry place or in the refrigerator or freezer for longer shelf life.

Use these perfectly toasted pine nuts in salads, pasta dishes, pesto, baked goods, or as a garnish to add a delightful nutty crunch and flavor to your favorite recipes.
