- To toast pine nuts, heat in a dry sauté pan over medium heat or in a preheated 350° oven until fragrant and golden, stirring occasionally (3-5 min.).
- Minnesota Grown products are fresher by miles, which is why we recommend them in this recipe. When local options are unavailable, fresh produce grown elsewhere may be used.
