100g walnut halves
1 tbsp honey
1 tbsp water

Arrange the walnut halves on a baking tray... transfer to an oven pre-heated to 160°C and bake for about 12 minutes, or until lightly-toasted and golden.
In the meantime, combine the honey, water and oil in a small pan and bring to a boil.
Reduce the heat to medium then stir in the toasted walnuts. Cook, stirring frequently, until the liquid has evaporated and the nuts are nicely toasted (about 1 minute).
