These Chinese Candied Walnuts are crunchy, sweet, salty, and delicious. Easy to make, they'll done in one step in UNDER 30 MINUTES. And, they'll save you a ton of money as they're so much cheaper than those outside. Plus, they're healthier as they're baked (traditionally, they're fried, but baked ones taste just as good!)

Ingredients

  • 2 Cups shelled walnuts (Ideally walnut halves, if not walnut pieces work too.)
  • 3½ Tablespoons sugar (Brown or white work.)
  • 1½ Tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 Tablespoon white sesame seeds (untested)
  • sprinkle salt (Omit if you don't like sweet-and-salty snacks.)

Directions

  1. 1

    Pre-heat the oven to 350 F/ 177C/ 157C with fan.

  2. 2

    Boil 2 Cups of walnuts in a small pot of water for 3-4 minutes. (You just need enough water to cover the nuts.) Reducing the bitterness will reduce the amount of sugar you need to add, making the snack healthier.

  3. 3

    Place the walnuts on a baking sheet (covered with parchment paper.) Immediately place 3.5 Tablespoons of sugar, 1.5 Tablespoon of oil, 1 Tablespoon white sesame seeds, and a pinch of salt on the walnuts.
