Quote by Joel Fuhrman
““To toast nuts or seeds in the oven, arrange them in a single layer in a shallow baking pan in a 350 ° F oven for five to ten minutes, rotating them occasionally until they are very lightly browned. Sesame seeds can be toasted on the stove in an ungreased skillet just by shaking them in a hot pan for two to three minutes.””
