Notes
HOW TO EASILY TOAST WALNUTS:
If you’re having one of those days and toasting walnuts on the stove top simply seems too much, I have a fix for you!
You can microwave the walnuts on a plate for 30 seconds. Stop, stir and sniff. Really. If you can smell the toasted walnuts, they’re done. You may need to microwave them for another 15-20 seconds.
Don’t overtoast them or you’ll have to toss them and start over.
