Usually candied nuts involve hot sugar on the stovetop — and tend to burn. Our method is 10x easier and yields glossy, delicious results without needing to babysit! You can use any type of nuts you’d like — walnuts, pecans, cashews, and almonds are all great. We like to add pumpkin spice, but you can use another warm spice or none at all if you prefer.

All of Anyday’s recipes are tested (and retested!) in many different microwave and home kitchens to make sure they work— and work well. Unless specified otherwise, all recipes should be cooked at full power.

Dish

The Medium Shallow Dish

Ingredients

2 tablespoons (30g) honey
¼ teaspoon pumpkin spice
2 cups (220g) nuts (walnuts, pecans, cashews, almonds are great)
¼ teaspoon vegetable oil

Preparation

Add honey and pumpkin spice to the Anyday and cook in the microwave, uncovered, for about 30 seconds.
Stir in pecans and mix until well-coated. Cook uncovered for 4 minutes, or until nuts smell toasted, sweet, and caramelized. Stir halfway into the cooking time to ensure even caramelization.
Remove from the microwave and stir in vegetable oil, making sure to mix well for about 1 minute.
Immediately spread evenly across the waxed paper and allow to cool. Once cool, store in an airtight container for maximum freshness.

Serving suggestions & tips

Use cinnamon, cayenne, or smoked paprika for a different flavor.
Great for salads, soups, and ice cream sundaes.
Chop the candied nuts to top sweet potato or yam casseroles.
