Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, melted coconut oil, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
Add the raw cashews to the bowl, and stir until all the cashews are evenly coated with the maple cinnamon mixture.
Spread the coated cashews evenly on the prepared baking sheet, arranging them in a single layer to ensure even roasting.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, stirring halfway through to prevent uneven browning. Keep a close eye on them during the last few minutes, as nuts can burn quickly.
Remove the cashews from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet. They will become crisp as they cool.
Once cooled, transfer the roasted cashews to an airtight container for storage. They can be kept at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
