Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups walnut halves
- 0.33 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon fine sea salt
Instructions
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup. Set aside.
In a medium nonstick skillet, combine the maple syrup, unsalted butter, ground cinnamon, and sea salt over medium heat. Stir gently until the butter is melted and the mixture is smooth, about 1-2 minutes.
Add the walnut halves to the skillet, stirring to coat them evenly with the maple mixture.
Cook the walnuts over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently to avoid burning. The syrup should thicken and coat the nuts as it cooks.
Once the walnuts are well-coated and fragrant, immediately transfer them to the prepared baking sheet. Spread them out in a single layer using a spatula.
Let the walnuts cool completely on the baking sheet. The glaze will harden as it cools, giving the walnuts a crunchy texture.
Once cooled, break apart any large clusters if desired. Store the maple glazed walnuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
