Ingredients

Sazón Candied Walnuts

4 tbsp organic grass fed butter (sub for plant based butter if non-dairy or vegan)
3 tbsp maple sugar
2 tsp Loisa Salt-Free Sazon
1 tsp Loisa Sea Salt
1 tsp vanilla extract

Directions

Add butter to a saucepan over a low-medium flame in a medium sized saucepan or skillet and allow to melt. Then, add vanilla extract, maple sugar, Sazón + sea salt. Stir to combine until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Add walnuts and toss to coat them completely in the mixture. On your counter, lay out a piece of parchment paper or silicone mat.Working quickly before the nuts cool, spread them over the parchment paper using a spatula, avoiding any clumps.Set aside.
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Toss quartered Brussels Sprouts with olive oil, Adobo, Sofrito, and paprika. Roast for 35-40 minutes, stirring once midway through. You are looking for charred bits throughout.
Combine candied walnuts, Brussels sprouts, and cranberries in a bowl. Serve warm.
