Ingredients

Scale

Cashew and Spice Mixture

  • 2 Tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon chipotle chili powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 lb raw, unsalted cashews

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil to prepare for roasting.
  2. Make Spice Mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the fresh lime juice and honey until combined. Add salt, paprika, cayenne pepper, chipotle chili powder, and chili powder to the lime-honey mixture and whisk until the spices are evenly blended.
  3. Coat Cashews: Stir the raw, unsalted cashews into the spice mixture thoroughly, ensuring each nut is evenly coated with the flavorful blend.
  4. Roast Cashews: Spread the coated cashews in a single layer on the lined baking sheet. Roast them in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, stirring every 5 to 10 minutes to promote even cooking. The cashews will develop a golden, reddish tint but should not burn or blacken.
  5. Cool Cashews: Once roasted, spread the cashews out on paper towels and let them cool completely before serving or storing. This allows them to crisp up perfectly and enhances the flavor.

Notes

  • Stirring every 5-10 minutes during roasting ensures even cooking and prevents burning.
  • Adjust cayenne and chili powders to your preferred spice level.
  • Store cooled cashews in an airtight container to maintain freshness and crunch.
  • Use fresh lime juice for the best tangy flavor impact.
