Honey Roasted Cashews
Description
This recipe coats raw cashews in a mixture of melted butter, honey, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. The combination gives the nuts a sweet and spiced glaze. The cashews are spread evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet and baked at 350°F, stirring every 5 minutes to ensure even roasting. The heat caramelizes the sugar and butter mixture, creating a crisp exterior while preserving the cashews' natural crunch. Finishing with a sprinkle of sea salt after baking balances the sweetness.
The baked cashews are allowed to cool completely on the baking sheet, solidifying their crisp texture. Once cooled, these honey roasted cashews can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for up to two weeks, making them a convenient homemade snack or topping option.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon butter unsalted
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon light brown sugar packed
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt plus more for serving, sea salt
- 2 cups cashew nuts raw
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, melt the butter in 2 30-second increments. Add the honey, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt, and stir together until well combined.
- Add the cashews on top of the honey mixture and stir until all the cashews are evenly coated.
- Spread the cashews in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes to ensure even roasting. The cashews should be golden brown and fragrant.
- Remove the cashews from the oven and immediately sprinkle with more sea salt. Let them cool on the baking sheet; they will become crisp as they cool.
- Once completely cooled, transfer the honey roasted cashews to an airtight container. They can be stored at room temperature for up to two weeks.
Notes
- Store honey roasted cashews in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks to maintain their crispness.
