Mix 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, 3 tablespoons maple syrup, 1 teaspoon Aleppoon pepperAND ¼ teaspoon diamond-crystal kosher salt. Cook, stirring, until syrup is bubbly, reduced and coats nuts, 2 to 3 minutes.Spread the nuts evenly on the parchment-filled baking sheet. Season with another pinch of salt and refrigerate for 10 minutes to cool completely.
Notes
* Radicchio can vary greatly in size, so if possible, I highly recommend using a scale to weigh all the greens!
Maple Syrup: For a sweeter, stickier candied nut, use ¼ cup maple syrup.
Spiced maple nuts yield about 1 cup, while salad uses about half as much. We found them so addictive that we wanted to snack on them! But they would also be fantastic with roasted Brussels sprouts, yogurt bowls, or ice cream.
