1. Toast Your Walnuts
This first tip is an easy one! No extra ingredients required. Simply brown your walnuts in a stovetop pan for 1-2 minutes or bake them on a cookie sheet in the oven at 350°F for 8-10 minutes until lightly toasted. Toasting really brings out the natural flavor of the walnuts and gives them a rich and buttery texture. Store them in an airtight container (if you don’t eat them all right away) and keep them on hand for a quick and delicious snack.
2. Make Them Spicy!
Hot and spicy flavors are trending, so turn up the heat at snack time with cayenne-coated walnuts. Red chili pepper hot sauce and white cheddar seasoning combine in this recipe for a fiery treat! These babies can be eaten solo, or paired with popcorn, your favorite cheese, veggies or fruit. The only question is, can you handle the heat?
3. Roast Them With Rosemary
For more of a savory flavor twist, reach for the rosemary in your spice cabinet or herb garden. You’re probably familiar with using this herb for foods like chicken, potatoes, or sauces. But rosemary can really plus-up your snacks. If you have 30 minutes bake them with sea salt and black pepper using this recipe that not only tastes great, but will make your house smell amazing! They also pair well with fruit and cheese, so try building them into a summer charcuterie or cheese board.
