Maple Cardamom Candied Walnuts Recipes

5 MINUTE CANDIED WALNUTS

Steps:

• Heat a medium non-stick skillet over medium heat, add 1 cup walnuts, 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 1 Tbsp butter.
• Heat over medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring frequently so your mixture doesn't burn (especially towards the end). When the sugar mixture starts melting, stir constantly until all sugar is melted and nuts are coated.
• Transfer immediately onto a sheet of parchment paper and separate the nuts right away. Using two spatulas will make this task go faster. You don't want to give the nuts a chance to turn into a wad of inseparable delicious goodness unless you are the only person who will be enjoying the wad ;). Seriously, move quickly from the time the nuts are coated until they are separated out on the parchment paper.
• Once the coating hardens (5-7 minutes), you can transfer them to a bowl and enjoy!

MAPLE CANDIED WALNUTS

Steps:

• Pre-heat your oven to 325F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Mix the walnuts and maple syrup in a small bowl.
• Spread the maple coated nuts on the parchment paper and bake in the pre-heated oven for 10 minutes.
• Once the 10 minutes are up, stir the nuts with a wooden spoon. Return to the oven and bake for another 3-5 minutes.
• Once the maple syrup starts to lightly 'foam' remove the entire sheet from the oven and cool on a wire rack until the nuts can be easily handled and broken apart.
• Store the maple candied walnuts in a glass mason jar or other air tight container for best results.

SPICY CANDIED WALNUTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spread the walnuts in an even layer onto a rimmed baking sheet. Place in the oven and roast for 5 minutes. Shake the pan to redistribute the walnuts and return to the oven for 3 minutes longer. Alternatively, in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat, toast the walnuts, stirring constantly, until they are hot and lightly toasted, about 5 minutes.
• While the walnuts are roasting, pour maple syrup into a large bowl and set aside.
• Whisk together the sugar, cayenne pepper, ginger, cinnamon, salt, and black pepper. Set aside.
• Immediately add the hot walnuts to the maple syrup and toss to coat. Stir in the spice mixture until the walnuts are evenly coated.
• Spread the walnuts on a baking sheet in a single layer and cool completely before serving.

WINTER SLAW WITH MAPLE CANDIED NUTS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Toast the mustard seeds in a dry pan on the hob for a few mins until they begin to pop. Carefully (as it will spit) add the vinegar, sugar and seasoning, then stir to dissolve. Leave to cool, then drizzle the dressing over the vegetables and give everything a stir. Can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days.
• Toss the nuts with the rest of the ingredients, except the rosemary, and season generously. Spread out on a baking tray and roast for 15 mins, stirring once. Add the rosemary and roast for 5-10 mins more until the nuts are golden - keep an eye on them as they burn easily.
• Allow to cool completely, stirring occasionally to stop them from sticking. Can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days. Sprinkle over the slaw before serving.
