Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Raw cashews
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoons Kosher salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and honey together, stirring occasionally until fully combined. If desired, stir in the ground cinnamon at this stage.
Place the raw cashews in a medium mixing bowl, then pour the honey-butter mixture over the cashews. Toss well to coat all the cashews evenly.
Spread the cashews in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap too much for even roasting.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes, stirring halfway through to prevent burning. Keep a close eye on them, as nuts can quickly go from golden brown to burnt.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and immediately sprinkle the kosher salt evenly over the warm honeyed cashews.
Let the cashews cool completely on the baking sheet. The honey will harden slightly as they cool, forming a delicious glaze.
Once cooled, transfer the honeyed cashews to an airtight container. Store at room temperature for up to one week.
Serve as a snack on their own or as a topping for salads or desserts!
