Air Fryer Candied Walnuts are going to be your new favorite snack. They are so easy to make and have just enough sweetness to match the salty flavor, so no matter which one you crave, it will hit the spot.
I love making fun and easy snacks in my air fryer. I tried air frying this recipe, instead of baking them in the oven, and they turned out perfectly.
Walnuts, like these from Kirkland, are the perfect snack because they are rich in antioxidants, and can even help lower blood pressure, among so many other benefits.
About Time
- Prep Time 5 mins
- Cook Time 10 mins
- Total Time 15 mins
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter melted
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 4 cups walnuts halved
- 3 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp sugar
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 200 degrees.
- While the air fryer is preheating, prepare the walnuts, by placing them in a medium bowl with the melted butter and the vanilla.
- Stir the walnuts until they are coated with the butter and vanilla, so the other ingredients will stick to them.
- Once the walnuts are covered in the coating, stir in the brown sugar, sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Toss the walnuts with the other ingredients so they are evenly covered.
- Finally, transfer them to your air fryer basket, and air fry at 200 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 minutes, stirring them, or shaking the basket halfway through.
