Candied Walnuts

I like my candied walnuts very basic. Free free to add a pinch of salt if you like a bit of saltiness to your nuts. And of course other spices are fair game as well.

This recipe also works with pecans, so you swap them here if you want.

I like the walnuts to have a light coat of sweetness however if you prefer them a bit sweeter feel free to add another tablespoon or so of sweetener.

¼ cup maple syrup or honey

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 325℉.
Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Add the walnuts and sweetener to a bowl and blend well. Take time to make sure the walnuts are well-coated.
Spread the walnuts out across the baking sheet so they're not piled on top of one another.
Bake for 15 minutes, or until the walnuts are darker, the sweetener is darker, and there is a scent of toasted walnuts is emanating from your oven when you open the door.
Let them fully cool for at least 15 minutes, or until the walnuts are crunchy.
