  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). 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.
