Candied Walnuts
These Candied Walnuts are the perfect sweet and crunchy treat to enjoy on their own, sprinkle over salads, or give as gifts. Lightly coated in brown sugar and cinnamon, they bake up crispy and flavorful in only 30 minutes!
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300°F Whisk one egg white until frothy. Add in brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Toss to combine.
- Add in 2 cups of walnuts. Toss to coat thoroughly.
- Spread the mixture evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or silicone mat.
- Bake for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool completely. (They will continue to crisp up as they cool)
Notes
Use Fresh Walnuts: Older walnuts can take on an unpleasant bitter taste. For the best flavor, make sure your walnuts are fresh.
Use Parchment or a Silicone Mat: This keeps the walnuts from sticking to the pan and makes cleanup easy!
Cool Completely: The walnuts continue to crisp up as they cool, so don't worry if they are a bit soft when you take them out of the oven.
