Ingredients
1cupWalnuts
1tbspbutter
2tbspmaple syrup
¼tspcayenne pepper
⅛tspcinnamon
1tspground sea saltto taste
Preparation
Cook nuts in a skillet over medium-high heat, stirring often, until they are lightly toasted and fragrant. Add butter.
Stir until the butter has melted and coated the nuts. Stir in the maple syrup, cayenne, cinnamon, and salt.
Turn the heat down to low and cook, stirring, until the liquid has evaporated and the nuts are well coated. This should only take a couple of minutes.
Be sure to remove from heat the second the liquid seems to have cooked down because the mixture will burn quickly. Pour the walnuts onto a plate or into a bowl and allow to cool before tossing them on your salad.
