Maple Candied Walnuts Ingredients- Walnuts, approximately 600g
- Maple syrup (to taste)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Begin by preparing your main ingredient: approximately 600g of whole walnuts. Ensure they are good quality for the best flavor.
Step 2
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This makes cleanup a breeze and prevents the walnuts from sticking. Spread the prepared walnuts evenly across the parchment paper.
Step 3
Next, get your maple syrup ready. This is the key ingredient that will add a wonderful sweetness and a beautiful glossy coating to your walnuts.
Step 4
Drizzle the maple syrup over the walnuts, ensuring a good ratio to the amount of nuts. You can adjust the sweetness according to your preference, so start with a moderate amount and add more if needed.
Step 5
It’s important to coat the walnuts generously with maple syrup so that each nut is well-covered. This ensures a delicious caramelized coating once baked. (Highlight this point if adding photos)
Step 6
Place the prepared walnuts into a preheated oven at 200°C (390°F) and bake for about 10 minutes. You’ll start to smell the toasty, nutty aroma.
Step 7
After 10 minutes, carefully remove the walnuts from the oven. Toss them around on the baking sheet to ensure even browning. Return them to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes. Keep a close eye on them during this time to prevent burning.
Step 8
Baking them in two stages results in perfectly crisp and delicious maple candied walnuts! Once done, remove them from the oven and let them cool completely at room temperature.
Step 9
Once cooled, store the candied walnuts in an airtight glass jar. Because they are coated with maple syrup and baked, they can be kept at room temperature for a good amount of time without spoiling, retaining their delightful crunchiness. This makes them a long-lasting snack.
Step 10

Store any remaining candied walnuts in a resealable zip-top bag. They are incredibly convenient to pack for breakfast the next day or as a quick snack when you’re on the go. Enjoy this delicious and healthy treat anytime, anywhere!
