  • Don't Overcook the Nuts: Nuts can burn easily, so keep a close eye on them while they're cooking. Remove them from the heat as soon as they're golden brown.
  • Let the Nuts Cool Completely: Before storing or serving the nuts, let them cool completely. This will help them crisp up and prevent them from sticking together.
  • Store the Nuts Properly: Store the nuts in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. They will keep for up to 2 weeks.
