Crunchy, sweet, slightly salty and ready in just a few minutes: these maple syrup-glazed walnuts<\/strong> are a little kitchen miracle. All you need is a pan and a handful of simple ingredients \u2013 and you have the perfect topping for porridge or desserts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For the past few weeks I've been totally into walnuts and have been adding them to many recipes, like my much-loved no-knead date walnut bread<\/a> and my crunchy topping<\/a>. Walnuts should really be on everyone's menu regularly, because they are among the most nutrient-rich nuts of all.<\/strong> From valuable fatty acids to essential minerals \u2013 a small handful of walnuts is a sensible daily addition to a balanced diet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you find them too boring on their own, I have a great recipe for you today: caramelized walnuts. Unlike many other caramelized nuts, these are made with maple syrup. No refined sugar, no complicated caramel <\/strong>cooking \u2013 and yet they turn out wonderfully crispy and are ready in just a few minutes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n[feast_advanced_jump_to]\n\n\n (You'll find the exact quantities further down in the recipe card.)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Before you start caramelizing the walnuts, place a piece of parchment paper on a baking sheet <\/strong>or a large plate. The salted caramel walnuts can cool there later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Let the nuts cool completely for another 20\u201330 minutes<\/strong> before transferring them to container. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Store the caramelized walnuts in an airtight container. This way they will keep at room temperature for several weeks<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The longer <\/strong>you let the nuts caramelize in the pan, the darker they become and the more intense the caramel flavor<\/strong> will be. Just make sure they don't burn.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n If you want to use the caramelized walnuts as a topping for a cake or another dessert<\/strong>, you can either leave them whole or chop them into smaller pieces. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In either case, you should only add them shortly before serving<\/strong>, especially if they will be sitting on a softer or moist surface. The maple syrup coating can dissolve if it stays in contact with something moist for a longer time, for example a soft cream.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n In that case, you didn't caramelize the nuts in the pan long enough. The maple syrup should be reduced to the point where no more liquid drops are left in the pan.<\/p> <\/div> Yes, of course! Try it with almonds or cashews.<\/p> <\/div> <\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n Here are a few more delicious recipes with walnuts:<\/p>\n\n\n I hope you'll give my recipe for caramelized walnuts a try.\u00a0If you do, let me know in the comments below.
