Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups raw cashews
- 2 tablespoons ghee (or melted coconut oil)
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon ground paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper (optional for heat)
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the raw cashews in a large mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, mix together the ghee (or melted coconut oil), ground turmeric, ground cumin, ground coriander, ground paprika, ground cayenne pepper (if using), black pepper, salt, and sugar until well combined.
Pour the spiced mixture over the cashews and toss thoroughly to coat all the nuts evenly.
Spread the coated cashews in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Roast the cashews in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.
Once roasted, remove the cashews from the oven and drizzle them with the fresh lime juice. Toss well to combine.
Let the cashews cool completely on the baking sheet before serving or storing.
Store the Bombay Spiced Cashews in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
