Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups walnuts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1.5 tablespoons hot sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, hot sauce, honey, paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well mixed.
Add the walnuts to the bowl and toss them thoroughly in the spice mixture until they are evenly coated.
Spread the coated walnuts out onto the prepared baking sheet in a single, even layer to ensure they roast evenly.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the walnuts for 12-15 minutes, stirring halfway through to prevent burning.
Once the walnuts are golden brown and fragrant, remove them from the oven. Allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet; they will crisp up as they cool.
Transfer the cooled walnuts to an airtight container for storage, or serve immediately. Enjoy your Hot and Spicy Walnuts as a snack or topping!
