Sweet & Savory Roasted Spiced Walnuts image

These addictively delicious walnuts make for crunchy nibbling to enjoy out of hand or on a salad. This snack can be prepared well in advance and stored in an airtight container at room temperature. A slender rasp-style grater is the ideal tool for the orange zest. Recipe is from Williams-Sonoma's "Thanksgiving Entertaining".
