I just couldn't let this beautiful summer go by without sharing at least one new recipe on my blog.
So today's recipe is a simple maple candied walnut recipe that is my favorite flavor combination; salty and sweet! They're delicious sprinkled on a salad, and make a great little snack too.
Enjoy!
Maple Candied Walnuts
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups walnuts
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp salt
Instructions:
- Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- Preheat a non-stick pan over medium heat. This step will help caramelize the walnuts properly.
- Add walnuts, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt to the pan.
- Stir constantly for about 5 minutes, until walnuts are carmelized. There should be no liquid left in the pan.
- Spoon walnuts evenly onto parchment-lined pan. The caramelized syrup will harden as it cools. Sprinkle with more salt, to taste.
- Let cool for 2 hours before placing in an airtight container.
