Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 pound raw cashews
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 tablespoon lime zest
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

Instructions

  • Place raw cashews on a lined baking sheet.
  • Preheat oven to 400F.
  • Roast nuts in the oven for about 7 minutes. You will be able to smell the nuts when they are done. Be sure not to overcook!

  • When cashews are done, place nuts in a heat-proof bowl.
  • Stir in the oil mixture and toss to coat evenly.
  • Place coated cashews back on the baking sheet and toast for 1 more minute to dry the mixture.
  • Remove and serve.
  • Uneaten cashews (if there are any) can be stored in an air-tight container for up to 2 weeks.
