Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups raw cashews
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, ground ginger, garlic powder, and sesame seeds. Whisk until the honey is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
Add the raw cashews to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated in the marinade.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and let the cashews marinate for 30 minutes at room temperature, stirring occasionally to ensure even coating.
Spread the marinated cashews in a single layer on the dehydrator trays. Ensure there is space between the cashews for optimal air circulation.
Set the dehydrator to 135°F (57°C) and dehydrate the cashews for 6 hours, or until they are completely dry and crunchy.
Once dehydrated, allow the cashews to cool completely before transferring them to an airtight container for storage.
Serve as a savory snack or enjoy as a topping for salads and grain bowls.
