Servings: 8 people
Ingredients
- 2 cups raw walnut halves
- ¼ cup honey
- 2 tablespoon unsalted butter
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne or less for less spice
- ¼ teaspoon Kosher salt
Instructions
- Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or a silicon mat.
- In a medium skillet, toast the walnuts, stirring frequently, over medium heat until just beginning to toast, about 5 minutes. Add the honey, butter, red pepper flakes, cayenne, and salt and stir well. Allow the nuts to continue to cook until the butter is completely melted and the sauce is just beginning to thicken, about 1 more minute.
- Lay the walnuts across the sheet pan into 1 layer and allow them to cool completely. After about 30 minutes the honey will have hardened completely and you can break them apart to serve.
