Ingredients

• 2 cups Walnut halves
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar (packed)
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground ginger
• 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat a non-stick skillet or sauté pan over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, sesame oil, garlic powder, and ground ginger to the skillet. Stir the ingredients together to form a smooth teriyaki glaze.

Step 3

Allow the glaze to simmer for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture slightly thickens.

Step 4

Add the walnut halves to the skillet and toss them gently in the glaze to ensure they are evenly coated.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low and stir the walnuts continually for about 5-7 minutes. The glaze will caramelize and cling to the walnuts as they toast slightly. Be careful not to let the glaze burn.

Step 6

Once the walnuts are fully coated and the glaze becomes sticky and shiny, remove the skillet from heat.

Step 7

Transfer the glazed walnuts to a parchment-lined baking sheet or cooling rack to cool completely. Sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.

Step 8

Once the walnuts have cooled and hardened, serve immediately, or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
