Healthy Candied Walnuts
Healthy Candied Walnuts
Description
Healthy candied walnuts take the concept of classic candied walnuts and lighten it up. Make this with a bit of a spicy kick or plain, depending on your spice quotient. Whether you enjoy them as a snack or a replacement for croutons on a salad, a topper for yogurt, part of a wrap, incorporated into a snack mix, or as an enhancement to oatmeal, you’ll get plenty of flavor without the guilt.
Ingredients
Instructions
-
- Preheat the oven to 325°.
- Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
- Mix the maple syrup, vanilla extract, ¼ tsp of salt, cinnamon, and cayenne pepper with a whisk in a small bowl.
- Add the nuts and stir.
- Pour the mix onto the prepared baking sheet. Spread.
- Bake for 10 minutes. Stir. Bake for another 15 minutes, stirring at 5-minute intervals. Incorporating the excess syrup into the nuts each time you stir is essential.
- Take the walnuts out of the oven, sprinkle the remaining salt over the walnuts, and set them aside to cool.
NOTES:
- If you’re not a spice lover, leave out the cayenne pepper! You can also experiment with various flavors to make this healthier version of candied walnuts your own.
