Preparation
STEP 1

Heat oven to 325°F.

STEP 2

In a mixing bowl, combine walnuts, salt and cayenne; toss together. Add maple syrup and stir until nuts are well coated.

STEP 3

Pour onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and spread nuts into a single layer (use two baking sheets if necessary). Bake for 15-20 minutes, stirring once or twice, until walnuts are nicely roasted.
