Candied Walnuts (vegan, gluten-free)

Candied walnuts make a great addition to salads.  They also make great snacks.  Here's a simple recipe.

If you have a Silpat its a good idea to use it here.  The nuts can be very sticky and hard to get off the pan if left to cool too long.  I recommend moving them immediately out of the oven onto another non-stick surface or into the container you will be storing them in.


Recipe:
Candied Walnuts:
1 c. raw  halved walnuts
4 tbs. brown sugar
1 tbs. water
1 tsp. salt

 
Method:
Candied Walnuts:
1. Mix brown sugar, salt and water in a small bowl.

2. Toss together with walnuts.

3. Bake in a 300 degree oven for 20 minutes, flipping nuts halfway through.
4. Remove from the pan immediately.
5. Let cool completely before adding to another recipe.
6. Store in a cool dry place in an airtight container for up to a month.


ENJOY!
