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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Add the raw cashews to the bowl and toss thoroughly to ensure all the cashews are evenly coated with the spice mixture.
Step 4
Spread the coated cashews in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overlapping.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Remove the cashews from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. They will crisp up as they cool.
Step 7
Once cooled, transfer the spicy cashews to an airtight container for storage. Enjoy as a snack or appetizer!
