dry roasting
Heat without oil
Dry roasting is cooking food with dry heat—in an oven or pan—without oil, butter, or liquid.
The method works well for nuts, spices, and coffee beans, where direct heat develops flavor through browning: Dry roasting brings out the natural oils in almonds.
Dry-roasted peanuts are a common snack food, marketed as a lighter alternative to oil-roasted varieties.
