Omega 3 Buttered Walnuts
Time Required: 7 (15 min. total)
Who said eating omega 3 had to be fishy? Walnuts are one of the top three omega 3 fatty acid providers alongside cold water fish and flax seed. Personally, this is the only one I would like to have caramelized! If you’re a pecan fan, they substitute here very well. This is a nice treat to put in a pretty bowl for snacking when guests are over.
Ingredients:
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp brown sugar -- or sucanat
2 tbsp maple syrup
2 cup(s) walnuts
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
