Ingredients for Air Fryer Roasted Walnuts

Grab these straightforward munchables to upgrade your snacking game:

  • Walnuts: About 2 cups of shelled walnuts. The star of our crispy show!
  • Olive Oil: A tablespoon or so, just enough to give those walnuts a lovely sheen.

Tips for Perfect Air Fryer Roasted Walnuts

To get the ultimate crunch on your walnuts, keep these nifty tips in your back pocket:

  • Don’t Overcrowd: Give those walnuts space in the air fryer basket. They need room to get crispy, so don’t pack ‘em in too tightly.
  • Shake It Up: Give the basket a little shake halfway through cooking to ensure even roasting—think of it as a dance party for your walnuts!
  • Keep an Eye on Them: Nuts can go from perfect to burnt faster than you can say “snack attack.” Keep an eye on them in the last few minutes.

Variations and Substitutions

Feeling adventurous? Check out these tasty variations and substitutions:

  • Sweet & Spicy Walnuts: Add a mix of cayenne pepper, cinnamon, and a drizzle of honey before roasting for a sweet heat experience.
  • Herbed Walnuts: Toss some dried rosemary or thyme with your walnuts for a herby twist. You’ll feel like a fancy chef!
  • Garlic Parmesan Walnuts: Mix together powdered garlic and grated parmesan, then sprinkle that magic over the walnuts before they go into the air fryer. Divine!
