Here’s how I do it<\/strong>: Take a fork and run it through the seeds. This will push some seeds forward while letting some fall back. Then, tap the pan on the counter and they should spread out pretty evenly. It doesn’t have to be perfect.<\/p>\nPop the tray into the oven and time the sesame seeds for 4 minutes. Keep checking them as it gets close to this time because they can burn or become overtoasted in a blink of an eye! If you want, take them out halfway through cooking and mix them so they cook more evenly. Pull them out of the oven when they are golden brown and let them cool on the tray.<\/p>\n

After they cool, they are ready to eat! Either sprinkle them on food or pour them into a storage container and save for later use. I like to use an empty herb shaker so I can easily sprinkle them on my food whenever I want.<\/p>\n
How to Toast Sesame Seeds on Stove<\/h2>\n
The only downside to baking your sesame seeds is that they are sometimes hard to get off of the tray. You can get a majority of them off with a spoon, but there will always be a few left behind that you have to brush off.<\/p>\n
If you don’t want to bake your seeds, you can pan fry them on the stove! This usually takes a little bit longer to do and you can’t toast as many at a time as you can with baking, but it is an alternative if you don’t want to wait for the oven to preheat.<\/p>\n

To toast your sesame seeds on the stove, heat a pan over medium heat. Toss in as many sesame seeds as you want, but not so much that they are overlapping one another. Every once in a while, shake the pan so that the seeds toast evenly. You can even toss them lightly so that they flip over and toast the other sides.<\/p>\n
Continue toasting the sesame seeds until they are golden brown. The cook time will vary depending on what type of pan you use and how hot your pan was when you began toasting, but it will usually take around 7\u201310 minutes. If you start to hear a popping sound, the seeds are just about done toasting.<\/p>\n
