Easy Candied Walnuts

One of my partner's favourite salad at Nordstrom comes with candied walnuts and he's prepared a similar dish at home several times. I discovered this recipe from the Nordstrom cookbook that I would like to prepare soon seeing that I have a bagful of walnuts in the fridge!

1 large Egg White
2 1/2 cups Walnuts (about 10 oz)
3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar

1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Then, in a bowl, whisk the egg white to a semi-firm peak (so that there is NO liquid left in the bowl).
2. Fold in the walnuts and the brown sugar until well coated.
3. Then spread the nuts on a cookie sheet that is lined with a silpat, parchment paper, or is prepared with a nonstick spray. Try to somewhat separate the walnuts so that they don't bake into a giant clump.
4. Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 14 minutes. Immediately loosen them from the baking sheet and let them cool on a plate. (They only take about 30 seconds to cool and crunch up on the plate before they are ready to be used in the salad)
