These maple walnuts are the perfect sweet-and-savory bite. Made with maple syrup, ginger, and pepper, they’re ideal for snacking, gifting, or topping your favorite dishes.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Put the walnuts in a dry, large skillet over medium-low heat and cook, stirring regularly, until they are toasty, about 3 minutes.
Add the maple syrup or honey, ground ginger, and kosher salt, immediately stir to coat the nuts, then remove from the heat. Turn the nuts onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and space them out so they don't touch each other.
Let the maple walnuts sit until cool, about 15 minutes. They can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
