Ingredients
3 cups Raw unsalted cashews
3 tablespoons Packed dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon Kosher salt
1 tablespoon Curry powder
½ teaspoon Ground cumin
½ teaspoon Cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
Directions
Preheat your oven to 350°F and arrange a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a light coat of oil for easy cleanup.
In a small bowl, whisk together the kosher salt, curry powder, ground cumin, and cayenne pepper until well blended.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the raw cashews with the melted unsalted butter, tossing until every nut is evenly coated.
Sprinkle the spice mixture over the buttered cashews, then add the packed dark brown sugar and toss thoroughly to distribute all seasonings evenly.
Spread the seasoned cashews in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Roast in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the nuts are golden and fragrant but not darkened.
Remove from the oven and spread on a clean surface or parchment paper to cool completely—they will crisp up further as they cool.
Once fully cooled, break apart any clumps and store in an airtight container for up to one week.
