Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups raw cashews
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 teaspoons curry powder
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 0.25 teaspoons cayenne pepper
- 0.75 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoons granulated sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, curry powder, garlic powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, kosher salt, and granulated sugar. Mix well to form a fragrant spice paste.
Add the raw cashews to the bowl and toss thoroughly to evenly coat them with the spice mixture.
Spread the seasoned cashews in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, stirring once halfway through to ensure even roasting. Keep a close eye during the last few minutes to prevent burning.
Remove from the oven and let the cashews cool on the baking sheet. They will crisp up as they cool.
Transfer the Curried Cashews to a serving bowl or an airtight container for storage. Enjoy them as a snack or appetizer!
