As autumn approaches and we crave roasted, toasty, and nutty flavors, it's the perfect time to explore the art of toasting spices. Toasting spices like fenugreek seeds, cumin seeds, and whole chiles deepens their flavor and adds a new dimension to your cooking.
Toasting spices mellows their intensity, allowing you to sprinkle them whole as a garnish—like mustard seeds—or use them as a crunchy decor, like sesame seeds. It’s a simple way to add richness to your dishes.
How to Toast Spices:
Heat a heavy pan (cast iron works great) over medium heat until it's warmed up.
