Maple Glazed Walnuts
David and I like snacky foods especially on movie nights 🎬! He enjoys his Cretors Popcorn or BBQ chips while I have my plain chips with my onion chip dip or my seaweed snack. Other times, we share a bucket of Cracker Jack, have tortilla chips with salsa or roasted squash seeds.
When it comes to sweets, we definitely go for cold treats like ice creams 🍦, gelatos or floats during the summer while the rest of the year, we munch on Fig Newtons Cookies, Pirate Cookies, Twinkies, Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, Twizzlers, etc.
Nuts are another favorite of ours. It can be some trail mix, peanuts 🥜, almonds, cashews, pecans, or walnuts. As much as they’re good on their own, I like to give the walnuts a flavor boost by turning them into Maple Glazed Walnuts!
These are simply amazing plus incredibly versatile! Besides being a nice sweet snack on their own, they can be used as a topping for cereals, oatmeal or even salads 🥗. They also make a great addition for a charcuterie board. In addition, I use them to decorate my Maple Walnut Cake.
Another plus about these Maple Glazed Walnuts is they take 6 to 7 minutes ⏳ to make. What takes the most time is allowing them to cool before transferring to the fridge for a couple of hours to help dry them out.
Talking about drying them…
Until recently, I used to place them in a single layer on wax or parchment paper. I realized that many of them were sticking to the paper. I decided to put them straight on the baking sheet without paper… much better. At least, there’s no tiny paper bits sticking to the nuts 😉.
Also, after chilling the walnuts for a couple hours ⏰, I remove the tray from the fridge and release the walnuts from the bottom of the baking sheet before returning them to the fridge. I repeat that a few times until they no longer stick to the tray – it might take 3 to 4 times before this happens.
This delicious Maple Glazed Walnuts recipe is easy to make plus so versatile! With only 3 ingredients, they’re a great snack to munch on or add crunch to a variety of dishes; add them to your charcuterie board, a topper for salads, cereals or oatmeal, decorate your cake 🍰 with them, and more. Add hot paprika or cayenne for another tasty twist!
