This variation of candied walnuts skips the cinnamon and adds fresh rosemary for a savory twist. A touch of brown sugar balances the rosemary without making them taste overtly sweet. Find the full recipe and air frying instructions on this page.

- 2 cups walnut halves
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped

- 03Ready for the air fryer. Short bursts, frequent stirring.

The brown sugar here isn't making these sweet. One tablespoon on 2 cups of nuts adds a subtle caramel note that rounds out the rosemary and garlic without being identifiably sugary. These taste savory. They're perfect on a cheese board or crumbled over a salad.
