Notes
Some Pro Tips:
- You can lightly spray the basket with cooking spray so that the walnuts do not stick.
- Shake the basket several times during the cooking process.
- Try to get the walnuts on a single layer.
- Add some spices that you like, I used ground cinnamon, but you can easily make them with chili powder or ground cumin.
