Makes 2 lbs Sugar Glazed Walnuts

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 2 lb walnut halves
  • 1 egg white
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt, or to taste
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.

Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl, and toss with a spoon until the sugar melts and all the walnuts are coated well. Using a slotted spoon (so that the excess sugar glaze and drip through), transfer the walnuts to a lined baking sheet (either foil, parchment, or a silicon baking mat). Bake for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

The glaze will set-up as the walnuts cool. Store in airtight containers.
