Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups walnuts
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon curry powder
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, water, and unsalted butter over medium heat. Stir occasionally until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture starts to bubble gently, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the curry powder, ground cinnamon, and salt to the saucepan. Stir until the spices are fully incorporated into the sugar mixture.
Toss in the walnuts and stir gently until the walnuts are evenly coated in the spiced sugar mixture.
Transfer the coated walnuts to the prepared baking sheet, spreading them out in a single layer to ensure even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, stirring once halfway through to prevent clumping and ensure even caramelization.
Remove the walnuts from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet. As they cool, the coating will harden, giving the walnuts a satisfying crunch.
Once completely cooled, transfer the sugared curry walnuts to an airtight container for storage or serve immediately. Enjoy!
