Brown Butter Maple Glazed Nuts

Brown Butter Maple Glazed Nuts

These Brown Butter Maple Glazed Nuts started as a simple holiday gift for my girlfriends, and somehow turned into a runaway hit in my own kitchen. The flavor was warm and toasty from the brown butter, sweet from the maple syrup, and perfectly balanced by a sprinkle of flaky sea salt on top.
