To improve the flavor of raw nuts line a baking sheet with parchment or use a silicone coated pan and evenly spread 6 oz nuts in a single layer. Then roast them in the oven for 10 minutes at 350°F. After they cool place the roasted nuts in a bowl, sprinkle a small amount of oil over the nuts, and toss with your hands. Add 1/2 tsp sea salt to the nuts and toss again.
