Ingredients

• 2 cups raw cashews
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 teaspoons curry powder
• 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoons smoked paprika
• 0.25 teaspoons cayenne pepper
• 0.75 teaspoons kosher salt
• 1 teaspoons granulated sugar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, curry powder, garlic powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, kosher salt, and granulated sugar. Mix well to form a fragrant spice paste.

Step 3

Add the raw cashews to the bowl and toss thoroughly to evenly coat them with the spice mixture.

Step 4

Spread the seasoned cashews in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, stirring once halfway through to ensure even roasting. Keep a close eye during the last few minutes to prevent burning.

Step 6

Remove from the oven and let the cashews cool on the baking sheet. They will crisp up as they cool.

Step 7

Transfer the Curried Cashews to a serving bowl or an airtight container for storage. Enjoy them as a snack or appetizer!
