Dry roasting - toasting technique

Dry roasting is a cooking technique in which food is toasted without added fat at high temperature. During dry roasting, the Maillard reaction and caramelization occur, giving food a distinctive flavor and aroma. The most commonly dry-roasted items include coffee, nuts, seeds, spices, and flour. Dry roasting is done in a pan, oven, or special roasting equipment. Temperature and time control is important because food can easily burn. Dry roasting releases essential oils and enhances the natural flavor of ingredients.
