Vegan Walnut Recipes

Browse 8+ easy, healthy vegan walnut recipes! These recipes either feature or include this nutritious nut. Walnuts are an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids in the form of ALA (alpha-linolenic acid). Walnuts are great for snacking, salad toppers, and also have a tender yet hearty texture that mimics meat in certain dishes!

Purchasing: I buy organic walnuts whenever possible. Be sure they look fresh and not shriveled. They should also have a sweet & nutty smell, not musty or rancid. Usually I buy them shelled & raw. But if purchasing roasted, I look for "dry roasted" instead of ones roasted in oil.

Dry roasting at home: Preheat your oven to 170°F/75°C. Spread out a layer of walnuts on a baking sheet. Roast for 15 minutes. (Be aware roasted walnuts have a shorter shelf life than raw.)

Storing: I store walnuts either in the freezer (where they generally keep about 1 year) or in the refrigerator (where they keep for about 6 months). They last longer when they're not exposed to heat, air, and humidity.
