By

The key to this salad topper is to work quickly and stir constantly so
the sugar and walnuts don’t burn.

  • 1

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp. ground nutmeg
  • 1 cup walnut halves
  • 1 tsp. kosher salt

Preparation

Step 1

Lightly coat a baking sheet with nonstick spray; set aside.

Heat sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a nonstick skillet over medium-high; stir in walnuts. Cook and stir sugar-nut mixture until walnuts are toasted and the sugar melts, coating walnuts.

Remove skillet from heat and pour walnuts onto prepared baking sheet; sprinkle with salt. Working quickly, separate the walnuts using
two forks; let cool completely.
