Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups (292.5 g) walnut halves or pieces
- ¼ cup (50 g) light brown sugar, packed
- ¼ cup (85 g) honey
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- To a large bowl, add the walnuts, brown sugar, honey, salt, and melted butter. Mix until the walnuts are well coated.
- Spread the coated walnuts in a single layer onto the lined baking sheet.
- Bake for 15 minutes, stirring them after 7 minutes. (The walnuts are done cooking when they are a deep brown in color.)
