Preheat the oven to 180°C circulating air. Spread 300 g of hazelnut kernels in a baking dish and roast in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes. Let the roasted nuts cool slightly. Place on a kitchen towel, fold the towel over so that the nuts are covered, and carefully rub the nuts with the towel to remove the skin.
