Steps
1
Preheat the oven to 350℉.
2
Place the sesame seeds on a baking sheet and cook in the oven for about 8-10 minutes per batch. Stir the seeds in the pan every 2 minutes or until it’s light brown.
3
Transfer the seeds to a plate and allow to cool. The seeds will continue to cook from the residual heat.
4
NOTE: For reference, I am using a 900-watt microwave.
5
In a microwave safe glass plate or bowl, add the sesame seeds so that they are evenly spread out. If not all the seeds fit evenly, do this in batches.
6
Microwave on high for 1-minute intervals and use a spatula to mix the seeds. Continue to microwave in 1-minute intervals until the seeds are light brown and smell nutty. This should be about 6 minutes per batch.
7
Transfer to a new plate and let cool.
8
In a large pan over medium-low heat, spread your sesame seeds evenly on the pan. If not all the seeds fit evenly, do this in batches.
9
Cook the seeds until they smell nutty and are light brown. Use a spatula to stir the seeds to prevent them from burning. This should be about 4-6 minutes per batch.
10
Transfer the seeds to a new plate and allow them to cool.
