– Non-Stick Pan – Stirring Utensil – Measuring Cup and Spoons – Baking sheet – Airtight Container
– 2 cups walnuts – ¼ cup honey – 2 tablespoons granulated sugar – Pinch of salt
1. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the walnuts to the dry pan and toast them for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently. Once they turn golden brown and emit a nutty aroma, transfer them to a plate to cool. 2. In the same pan, combine the honey, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Stir the mixture over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. Let it simmer for about 2-3 minutes until the syrup slightly thickens.
3. Return the toasted walnuts to the pan with the honey glaze. Stir continuously, ensuring all the walnuts are thoroughly coated with the glaze. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the walnuts are evenly coated and the glaze thickens. 4. Transfer the honey glazed walnuts onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spreading them out in a single layer to prevent sticking. Allow them to cool completely, giving the glaze time to set and harden.
5. Once cooled, break apart any clusters and store the honey glazed walnuts in an airtight container. They can be enjoyed immediately as a snack or added to salads, desserts, or any dish where you want a touch of sweetness and crunch.
