I adore rosemary but it wasn’t until a couple years ago that I started incorporating this fragrant herb into sweet foods, as well as savory. These spiced walnuts have the best of both worlds. Enjoy this sweet and salty snack!

Ingredients

• 1 C. powdered sugar, sifted
• 1 heaping tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
• 1 t. cinnamon
• 1 t. sea salt
• 4 C. walnuts

Method

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper/Silpat.

Step 2

In medium mixing bowl, combine powdered sugar, rosemary, cinnamon and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

Fill medium saucepan halfway with water and bring to a boil.

Step 4

Add walnuts to boiling water and blanch for three minutes.

Step 5

Strain blanched walnuts well and add to sugar mixture. Toss to coat until well-mixed and sugar has dissolved.

Step 6

Spread walnuts onto baking sheet and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until walnuts are golden. Stir every few minutes and keep an eye on them to make sure the sugar isn't burning.

Step 7

Remove from oven and allow to cool. Store in airtight container.
