PREPARATION

 

These steps are followed for the preparation of Spicy Roasted Cashews:

  • Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  • Coat the cashews: In a small bowl, mix cashews, olive oil, cayenne pepper, smoked paprika and salt. Toss well to ensure the cashews are evenly coated.
  • Spread on baking tray: Arrange the cashews in a single layer on the prepared baking tray, ensuring they are not overlapping.
  • Roast the cashews: Bake for 8-10 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even roasting. The cashews should turn golden brown and fragrant.
  • Cool before serving: Remove from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes before eating. The nuts will crisp up as they cool.

COOKING TIME

 

8-10 minutes

TIPS

 

  • Watch carefully: Cashews can burn quickly, so keep an eye on them after 8 minutes of roasting.
  • Even seasoning: Stir the cashews well while roasting to ensure even coverage of spices.
  • For extra crunch: Let the cashews cool completely before storing. This will enhance their crispiness.
  • Custom spice levels: Adjust cayenne pepper to increase or decrease the heat level to preference.

VARIATIONS

 

  • Sweeter Version: Add ½ teaspoon maple syrup or honey for a sweet-and-spicy kick.
  • Garlic Flavour: Mix in ¼ teaspoon garlic powder for extra savoury depth.
  • Nut Mix: Try using almonds, walnuts or peanuts alongside cashews for a variety of textures.
  • Zesty Kick: Add a dash of lime zest before roasting for a bright, citrusy flavour.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

 

  • Storage: Store cooled cashews in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
  • Refrigeration: Can be stored in the fridge for 2 weeks to retain freshness.
  • Freezing: For longer storage, freeze for up to 3 months and re-toast in the oven for 5 minutes before serving.
