Toasted Maple Rosemary Cashews
Description
Toasted Maple Rosemary Cashews feature raw cashews cooked in a cast iron skillet with coconut oil, maple syrup, coconut sugar, fresh finely chopped rosemary, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of sea salt. The nuts are continually stirred over medium heat to evenly toast and absorb the maple syrup glaze, resulting in a golden-brown, crisp texture. The rosemary imparts a fresh herbal aroma that pairs with the sweet and slightly spiced coating from the cinnamon and sugars. This method yields a rich, crunchy snack with balanced sweet and savory notes.
The recipe is straightforward and requires careful stirring to ensure the cashews toast evenly without burning the sugars. The cashews are cooled slightly before serving to allow the glaze to firm up, preserving a pleasant crunch. These toasted nuts can work well as a standalone snack or a flavorful topping for roasted vegetables, salads, or cheese platters offering an interesting texture and aromatic lift.
