Roasting Macadamia Nuts
Store the macadamia nuts in a cool place until you’re ready to use them. A heavy plastic bag will prevent nuts from reabsorbing moisture.
You can crack the nuts and store the meats in a tightly sealed container in your refrigerator. The nuts store well, are tasty, and ready to eat. However, you may prefer them roasted.
To roast your macadamia nut meats:
Preheat your oven to 225 - 250 degrees F.
Place nut meats in a shallow pan, no more than two deep.
You may want to spritz the nuts with salt water just before you put them in the oven to give them a light, salty taste.
Roast pieces that are similar in size at the same time. Avoid roasting small meats and half pieces with larger whole nuts. They will roast unevenly and possibly scorch the large nuts.
Roast the nuts for 10 to 15 minutes or longer, stirring occasionally. Watch them carefully. They can scorch quickly. Remove from the oven as soon as they begin to turn brown since the browning process will continue a short while after you remove them from the oven.
Allow to cool immediately to stop the roasting process.
Since there are variation in nuts, oven temperatures, etc., it is best to monitor the process closely and adjust your times and temperatures to produce the color, flavor and texture to satisfy your taste.
Once you have removed the nuts from the oven, you may want to stir with dab of butter or naturally flavored oil, or a sprinkle of salt to flavor. Serve hot or cool, or store in a tightly sealed container in your refrigerator.
Macadamia nuts are the premier nuts of the world. Enjoy.

Hope this helps: The danger of macadamia nuts Macadamia nuts are another concern. A recent paper written by Dr. Ross McKenzie, a Veterinary Pathologist with the Department of Primary Industries, points to the danger of raw and roasted macadamia nuts for pets. The toxic compound is unknown but the affect of macadamia nuts is to cause locomotory difficulties. Dogs develop a tremor of the skeletal muscles, and weakness or paralysis of the hindquarters. Affected dogs are often unable to rise and are distressed, usually panting. Some affected dogs have swollen limbs and show pain when the limbs are manipulated. Dogs have been affected by eating as few as six macadamia kernels (nuts without the shell) while others had eaten approximately forty kernels. Some dogs had also been given macadamia butter. Luckily, the muscle weakness, while painful, seems to be of short duration and all dogs recovered from the toxicity. All dogs were taken to their veterinary surgeon.
