Heat a frying pan over medium-low heat until warmed.
Place the pine nuts in the frying pan in a single layer. Use a wooden spoon to spread them out so they are all touching the bottom of the pan.
Give the pine nuts about 30 seconds to start toasting.
Begin stirring constantly with the wooden spoon. You can leave them still for 5-10 seconds at a time to allow for toasting but any longer than that will cause them to burn.
When all sides are golden brown, transfer them off the heat and to another dish so they stop cooking.
