Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, honey, cumin, coriander, smoked paprika, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, and a pinch of salt.
-
Place the walnuts in a large mixing bowl and pour the spice mixture over them. Gently toss the walnuts until they are evenly coated with the spice mixture.
-
Spread the seasoned walnuts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
-
Bake the walnuts in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they are fragrant and lightly toasted. Be careful not to overcook them, as they can burn quickly.
-
Remove the walnuts from the oven and let them cool completely before serving. The walnuts will become crunchier as they cool.
-
Once cooled, store the Turkish Spiced Walnuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks. Enjoy them as a snack or use them to add a flavorful crunch to your favorite dishes.
