Ingredients
- 1 pound walnut halves
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg white
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
- Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add walnuts and boil for 5 minutes to remove the bitter taste of the skins. Rinse nuts with cold water, drain well, and spread out on a paper-towel-lined tray to dry.
- Preheat oven to 300°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl stir together the brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk the water with the egg white until airy and light. Add the walnut halves and stir to coat.
- Sprinkle the sugar mixture over the walnuts. Mix well and spread evenly onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 40-50 minutes, stirring occasionally, until walnuts are toasted and the sugar has caramelized.

Notes
