Caramelized Nuts for Salads from The Food Nanny

These easy caramelized nuts add a nice sweet crunch to your salads.

Ingredients

  • 1 Tablespoon butter
  • 1 Tablespoon honey
  • 1/2 cup walnut or pecan pieces
  • 1/4 teaspoon sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350F and cover a small pan with foil.
  • Melt the butter over medium heat then stir in the honey. It should get bubbly and foamy pretty quickly.
  • Add the nuts and cook, stirring, another minute.
  • Sprinkle the sugar over the nuts and cook another minute, stirring.
  • Put the nuts on the baking pan and bake about 4 minutes.
  • Let them cool. (I just lift the foil off the pan and onto a rack.)
  • Break apart and add to salad. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for a week or freeze for longer keeping.
