Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups raw cashews
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 0.5 teaspoon garam masala
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric, garam masala, cayenne pepper, chili powder, sugar, salt, and lime zest. Mix well to create a spice paste.
Add the raw cashews to the bowl and toss them in the spice paste until they are evenly coated.
Spread the spiced cashews in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the cashews are fragrant and lightly golden. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning.
Remove the cashews from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. They will crisp up as they cool.
Optional: Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving for an extra burst of flavor and color.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to a week. Enjoy!
