Cayenne pepper gives these slightly sweet walnuts a piquant kick.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon honey

  • 2 teaspoons olive oil

  • 2 cups walnut halves

  • 2 tablespoons sugar

  • 1 teaspoon coarse salt

  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin

  • ½ teaspoon ground coriander

  • teaspoon cayenne pepper

Directions

  1. In a large nonstick skillet, heat honey, oil, and 1 tablespoon water over medium heat. Add walnuts; toss to coat.
