Honey Cinnamon Walnuts
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp Butter
- 2 tbsp Honey
- 1/4 tsp Siagon Cinnamon
- 1½ cups Walnut halfs
Instructions
- Start by placing a medium-sized skillet on the stovetop over low to medium heat. It’s important not to rush the process, as we want to gently toast the walnuts to enhance their flavor.
- Once the skillet is warm, add in the tablespoon of butter. Allow it to melt completely, creating a rich and flavorful base for your walnuts.
- After the butter has melted, stir in the two tablespoons of honey. As the honey begins to warm, it will become a bit more liquid and easier to coat the walnuts. Next, sprinkle in your desired amount of cinnamon. Start with 1/8 teaspoon and taste before adding more; the warmth of cinnamon can be quite potent!
- Now, it’s time to add in your walnut halves. Stir them well to ensure each piece is coated in the buttery, honeyed mixture. Allow the walnuts to toast gently in the skillet for about 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning, and watch as they become golden and fragrant.
- Once your walnuts are beautifully glazed and toasted, remove them from the heat. Spread them out on a piece of parchment paper or a plate to cool. This will help them crisp up as they cool down. Once cooled, they’re ready to be enjoyed!
