Description
Deliciously sweet and crunchy maple candied walnuts, perfect for snacking or adding to dishes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup raw walnuts
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 2 pinches kosher salt
Instructions
- Add the walnuts and maple syrup to a small non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- When the maple just starts to bubble, reduce the heat to low but still slowly bubbling.
- Simmer for about 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- In the last minute, when the maple syrup is mostly evaporated, stir continuously until the liquid is totally cooked out and the nuts start clumping together. (Watch the nuts so they don’t burn and become powdery, not glossy!)
- Immediately remove from the heat.
- Transfer the walnuts to a sheet of parchment paper in a single layer.
- Sprinkle with the salt and allow to cool to room temperature, about 5 minutes if eating right away and about 15 minutes if you want to store them for later use.
- Store in a covered container at room temperature.
Notes
- Ensure to watch the nuts closely while cooking to prevent burning.
- These candied walnuts can be stored for later use and are great for salads or snacks.
