Honey roasted walnuts

I made these easy honey roasted walnuts to use a crunchy topping for this spinach raspberry salad. I was looking for something slightly different than the standard candied walnuts so I used honey and some chili powder. These homemade roasted walnuts are also great in other salads or simply served as a snack.

Can’t wait to try this recipe! I’m making it for my retiree group, tomorrow. They love it when I try new salads. I’ll report back…
I serve these with Kikorangi crumbled blue vein cheese on rocket leaves as a starter.
I had this salad in Seattle about 15 years ago and have never forgotten how much I enjoyed it.
Had these for the 1st time last night a restaurant and i loved them so i thought i’d google the recipe and this is the 1st one that popped up. It’s perfect , can’t wait to try the recipe :)
Hey Laylita!
This sounds a little like “caquita de perro”, I really liked it when I was in Ecuador last month! :)
You have a wonderful website!

Best sweet nut recipe I’ve tried yet. Perfect just for snacking! Thanki You.
Great recipe! Sweet, with just a pinch of salt and an undertone of smoky chili powder. Great as a snack or an addition to almost any salad.
This recipe is definitely a keeper. Thanks!
Definite keeper! Just finished a double batch and they turned out perfectly. We will use them in a chicken salad with walnut oil dressing.
I just made this. It is awesome!!! I mixed it in with chiken salad and it really made so much better!
I am trying the recipe for the first time and they have 5 mins. left in the oven. They look and smell delicious!
This sounds like the recipe I was looking for. Thanks!
