When to roast hazelnuts

The best time to roast nuts is after they are dried and at a low temperature so that the oils do not come to the surface. After they are dried, the nuts can be roasted and crisp up.

The quality will be better for long-term storage if hazelnuts are stored after being dried. It certainly is not a safety issue if you want to try drying them as you roast them, but they will probably turn rancid faster.

If you have a food dehydrator you can dry them at the lowest temperature, between 90-100º F.
