Recipes Appetizers and Snacks Nuts and Seeds Parmesan-Encrusted Pine Nuts 4.5 (2) 2 Reviews 2 Photos This recipe for candied pine nuts with Parmesan is my near-perfect attempt at replicating a delicious salad topper I had recently at a restaurant. The salad consisted of romaine lettuce, shredded Parmesan cheese, dressing, mixed croutons, and these Parmesan-encrusted pine nuts. They're sweet, savory, nutty, and delicious!

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; spread pine nuts in an even layer on top. Bake in the preheated oven until most of the pine nuts are light golden brown and fragrant, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven; keep the oven on. Cook and stir sugar and water in a saucepan over medium heat until mixture turns light brown and syrupy, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat. Add pine nuts to the saucepan; gently mix until coated with syrup. Stir in Parmesan cheese until nuts are coated. Replace parchment paper on the baking sheet with a fresh piece. Spread coated pine nuts on top, breaking apart any bunches. Return to the oven and bake until cheese is melted, about 10 minutes.
