3. Toss the pine nuts with 1 Tablespoon vegetable oil and put on a cookie sheet (sprayed with non-stick or use parchment paper/silipat mat) in the oven at 425 degrees F for 5-10 minutes or until fragrant and golden brown (you will want to flip them over to get even browning mid-roasting). Remember that because of the oil content in the nuts, they will continue to cook after removed from the oven, so don't leave in too long. **You can also saute the oil/nuts mix over medium high heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring to saute evenly. Let the nuts rest on a few paper towels afterwards.
