Description
Simple recipe for making sweet, crunchy candied walnuts using maple syrup.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup walnut halves
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, mix the maple syrup, water, and salt until combined.
- Place the walnuts in a medium bowl. Pour the maple syrup mixture over the walnuts and toss until they are evenly coated.
- Spread the coated walnuts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and stir the walnuts.
- Return to the oven and bake for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until the coating is bubbly and lightly browned. Watch closely to prevent burning.
- Remove from the oven and let the walnuts cool completely on the baking sheet. They will crisp up as they cool.
- Break apart any clumps before storing.
Notes
- Store cooled candied walnuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
- You can substitute brown sugar for maple syrup, adjusting the liquid slightly if needed.
