Place in the oven and bake for 6-8 minutes until the walnuts become lightly toasted and emit a pleasant aroma. Once out of the oven, quickly sprinkle sugar over the walnuts and season with salt and pepper. Toss everything together until well-coated. Allow the mixture to cool down before serving.
- 2Prepare the walnuts in advance by toasting them. You can toast the walnuts up to one day ahead of time. Once toasted, store them in an airtight container at room temperature until ready to use.
