Servings: 2 Cups
Ingredients
- 2 cups 8 ounces raw walnut halves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
- 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
Instructions
- In a 10" cast iron or nonstick skillet, add the walnuts and the olive oil. Toast over medium-high heat for 3 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Pour the maple syrup, salt, and herbs over the walnuts. Continue cooking for 5-6 minutes, stirring constantly. See the notes section below for process tips.
- The walnuts are done when there is no liquid left at the bottom of the pan and the walnuts are coated in thick syrup, but slide around the pan easily. The pan will be smoking a little bit, but the mixture should not smell burnt.
- Remove the nuts from the heat and pour them on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Let cool for 10 minutes for the maple glaze to harden and serve.
Notes
Process Tips: You'll notice after about 2 minutes of cooking, the walnuts will have absorbed all the maple syrup. At minute 3, the nuts will start clumping together. At about minute 5 or 6, the nuts will be completely coated in a glaze, and the syrup will become less sticky.
