How to Make It
Step 1
Place the walnuts onto a baking sheet and bake at 310 F for 15 minutes until lightly toasted. The lower oven temperature will allow the flavor to develop on the walnuts without burning them.
Step 2
Place the melted butter, brown sugar sweetener, lemon zest (from one lemon), lemon juice, Aleppo chili pepper, cinnamon, cardamom, and kosher salt together in a medium sized bowl.
Step 3
Toss in the toasted walnuts and mix around to coat them.
Step 4
Place them back on the same baking sheet and bake for another 7 minutes. Stir them and bake again for 7 minutes.
Step 5
Taste the walnuts and add more salt as soon as they come out of the oven. Feel free to use a very fine grind salt as it will stick better on the outside and provide a delicious salty bite.
