Roasting your own Cocoa Beans at home

The easiest way to roast a small quantity of beans is in the microwave. For your first trial, place one or two beans in a plate.

Microwave on medium for a few minutes, stopping for a taste-test every 30 seconds or so. The "roast" is finished whenever you're pleased with the result - but you know you're on the right track if your kitchen starts to smell like chocolate cake!

If you prefer to use a conventional oven, try roasting up to 1 pound of beans in a casserole dish. Set the oven to about 180 C, and roast for 20 - 30 minutes, stirring every five minutes.

Remember - your nose and your taste buds are the best guide.
