Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups walnut halves
- 1 teaspoon dried culinary lavender
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cloves
- 0.25 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, mix together the ground cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, salt, and dried lavender. Set aside.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the honey, butter, sugar, and water. Stir until the mixture is fully melted and smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the walnuts to the saucepan and stir until they are evenly coated with the honey mixture.
Remove the saucepan from heat and sprinkle the spice and lavender mixture over the walnuts. Stir well to evenly distribute the spices.
Spread the coated walnuts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the walnuts are toasted and fragrant.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the walnuts to cool completely. The coating will harden as the nuts cool.
Transfer the spiced lavender walnuts to an airtight container for storage. Enjoy them as a snack or a topping for salads and desserts!
