Ingredients

• 2 cups walnut halves
• 0.33 cup pure maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon fine sea salt

Directions

Step 1

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup. Set aside.

Step 2

In a medium nonstick skillet, combine the maple syrup, unsalted butter, ground cinnamon, and sea salt over medium heat. Stir gently until the butter is melted and the mixture is smooth, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 3

Add the walnut halves to the skillet, stirring to coat them evenly with the maple mixture.

Step 4

Cook the walnuts over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently to avoid burning. The syrup should thicken and coat the nuts as it cooks.

Step 5

Once the walnuts are well-coated and fragrant, immediately transfer them to the prepared baking sheet. Spread them out in a single layer using a spatula.

Step 6

Let the walnuts cool completely on the baking sheet. The glaze will harden as it cools, giving the walnuts a crunchy texture.

Step 7

Once cooled, break apart any large clusters if desired. Store the maple glazed walnuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
