Vegan Recipe: Agave Candied Walnuts...A Healthy, Tasty Treat!

I have always had a sweet tooth! And eating vegan did not change that! I'm a "snacker," so I'm like, "what can I snack on that's sweet and halfway healthy?" (Note: When you eat vegan, you become creative--trust me!!😂) And then I had my "aha moment." Candied Walnuts!

Simple Recipe...A lot of flavor!
This is probably one of the easiest recipes you will see on my blog! And it's quick to make! One thing I like about candied walnuts is that they are typically alkaline and high in monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats (the heart-healthy fats). Monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats can reduce the risk of developing cardiovascular disease. Sounds like a win-win situation to me! But don't go crazy trying to down a lot of walnuts--healthy fat is still fat. LOL. Eat in moderation!

Here's What You Need:

1 bag of walnuts
3-4 tbs Agave Nectar (or more, maybe less--I like to drown my walnuts in it!😂 Remember, we don't do no measuring 'round here!😂)
Dash of sea salt
1 tbs of grapeseed oil


And Now, to Bake!

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
  2. Coat the walnuts in agave nectar, grapeseed oil, and sea salt
  3. Bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes
  4. Allow to cool, and enjoy!



And that's a wrap, my friends! See how easy and quick that was? And trust me, they will be tasty! Great substitute for candy or other snacks that contain refined sugars! Welp, that's it for me, y'all. If you try this recipe, I want to hear from you! Stay healthy, my friends! I love us for real!😎
