Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups walnut halves
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine olive oil and honey. Whisk together until well blended.
Add cayenne pepper, paprika, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix thoroughly to make a spicy coating.
Add the walnut halves to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the spiced mixture.
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 to ensure even toasting. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
Remove from the oven and let the walnuts cool on the baking sheet for 5-10 minutes; they will crisp up as they cool.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
