What temperature do they need to be baked on?

These walnuts are incredible! I strongly recommend you try them, you will not be disappointed. The combination of cinnamon, maple and sweetness is perfection. I just recommend you be generous w/ the oil on the foil, as you can imagine, they will be stick to the foil if you don’t. Next time, and there will definitely be a next time, I think I’ll try parchment paper in lieu of foil.

I made this as part of a basket taken as potluck for Thanksgiving. Everyone loved it. I will definitely be making it again.
