Ingredients
1 to 1-1/2cupsraw hazelnuts
1parchmentlined baking sheet
Kitchen towel(to roll off skins)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350.Place hazelnuts on parchment lined baking sheet.Place the hazelnuts in the oven and bake for 15 to 18 minutes (they will be sizzling with tiny pop sounds when they first come out).
Immediately pour hot hazelnuts in a kitchen towel lined bowl and fold over. Let steam for 1 to 2 minutes.
Keeping the nuts folded inside towel, place on counter top and vigorously roll the hazelnuts back and forth with your hands to remove the skins. The larger amount of hazelnuts roasted, the longer this will take.
I suggest after the first round, pull out all of the hazelnuts that are skinless, dump out the skins into the sink, place remaining nuts back into the towel and repeat the process. I did about 2 cups of hazelnuts and it took me three times to get them all skinned.
Let them cool completely and store in an airtight container.
