I should start off by warning you that these maple-glazed walnuts are addictive. The nuts are crunchy and slightly sweet with a spicy aftertaste. 

They make a great gluten-free snack food and are perfect for serving at game nights and sophisticated enough for cocktail evenings. They're delicious as a salad topping, and would also make excellent holiday host or hostess gifts.

How to Roast Spiced Walnuts

These Maple Spiced Walnuts are incredibly easy to make and only take a few minutes of preparation time. Instead of using sugar, these walnuts are lightly coated with pure maple syrup and a combination of warm spices.

The maple and spice combination in this recipe can be used to flavour raw pecans, almonds or cashews or a combination of these nuts. The spice mixture of cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg makes these perfect for fall and the holiday season.

Ingredients Overview:

  • Pure maple syrup
  • Light olive oil
  • Ground cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg
  • Salt and cayenne pepper
  • Walnuts

Steps Overview:

Combine the maple syrup, oil, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, salt and cayenne. Whisk together and add the walnuts, tossing the walnuts well to coat them with the syrupy spice mixture.

Spread the walnuts onto the baking sheet in one even single layer. Bake walnuts stirring halfway through the total time. Remove walnuts from the oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet.

As the spiced walnuts are roasting in the oven, a delicious aroma will fill your house and make your home smell amazing and so inviting!

How to store:

Store spiced nuts in mason jars or airtight containers and place in a cool and dry place.

These spiced maple glazed walnuts are so good and versatile that you may want to double the recipe to ensure you have enough to go around.

Enjoy!
