Equipment

1 cookie sheet
Parchment Paper

Ingredients

3 cups walnuts
1 tablespoon butter
¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

Place walnuts in a plastic storage bag.
Pour melted butter and salt into the bag of walnuts.
Shake the bag to coat the walnuts completely.
Pour walnuts onto parchment paper lined cookie sheet.
Bake in 350 degree oven for 10 to 12 minutes.
Check walnuts during cooking starting at 8 minutes to ensure they don't overbrown.

Notes

To toast the walnuts in the Microwave:

Coat the walnuts with the melted butter and salt, then spread them in a single layer on a large, flat, microwave-safe plate or glass pie dish.

Microwave on high power for 1 full minute.

Stir the walnuts thoroughly, and microwave in 30-second increments. Stir after each interval.

Total time takes about 3 to 5 minutes depending on your microwave wattage. They will have a rich, nutty aroma when done. Sample one (after it cools) when you think they are almost done, and cook longer if needed.
