Brown Sugar Candied Walnuts

Brown Sugar Candied Walnuts

Oven-roasted walnuts tossed in a buttery brown sugar coating on the stovetop. Roasting first brings out their toasty flavor, and the quick pan glaze gives them a crisp, caramelized shell without corn syrup. They’re great on salads, with cheese boards, or by the handful.
