Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups raw cashews
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, chili powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, salt, and brown sugar. Stir until the mixture forms a uniform paste.
Add the raw cashews to the bowl and toss thoroughly to ensure all the cashews are evenly coated with the spice mixture.
Spread the coated cashews in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overlapping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting. Keep a close eye on them during the last few minutes 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.
Once cooled, transfer the spicy cashews to an airtight container for storage. Enjoy as a snack or appetizer!
