Ingredients

• 2 cups walnut halves
• 1 teaspoon dried culinary lavender
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon ground cloves
• 0.25 teaspoon kosher salt
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together the ground cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, salt, and dried lavender. Set aside.

Step 3

In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the honey, butter, sugar, and water. Stir until the mixture is fully melted and smooth, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the walnuts to the saucepan and stir until they are evenly coated with the honey mixture.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from heat and sprinkle the spice and lavender mixture over the walnuts. Stir well to evenly distribute the spices.

Step 6

Spread the coated walnuts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the walnuts are toasted and fragrant.

Step 8

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the walnuts to cool completely. The coating will harden as the nuts cool.

Step 9

Transfer the spiced lavender walnuts to an airtight container for storage. Enjoy them as a snack or a topping for salads and desserts!
