Toasted nuts add an incredible amount of flavor. I very rarely use raw nuts for anything. Whether it’s going in a salad, cookie, or pesto, your end product will taste much better if the nuts are toasted. Since I normally roast vegetables at 425°F, I’ve calibrated my times for toasting nuts to be at that temperature. That way, I can throw them in with whatever is already in the oven. You can definitely toast nuts at a lower temperature, it will just take a little longer.
