Ingredients
- 2 cups walnuts, whole or half
- 2 teaspoons olive oil, optional
- 1 teaspoon salt, optional
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 300°F (150°C) for about 3-5 minutes. Preheating ensures even roasting.
- In a bowl, toss the walnuts with a teaspoon of olive oil and a pinch of salt if using. This step is optional but helps to enhance the flavor and ensure even browning.
- Spread the walnuts in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding to ensure they roast evenly.
- Place the basket in the preheated air fryer and roast the walnuts for 5-8 minutes. Shake the basket halfway through the cooking time to ensure even roasting.
- Keep a close eye on the walnuts, especially towards the end of the cooking time. They are done when they turn golden brown and have a fragrant, nutty aroma. Be careful not to overcook as they can burn quickly.
- Remove the roasted walnuts from the air fryer and let them cool completely. Store in an airtight container to maintain their freshness and crunch.
