Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb cashew nuts
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 teaspoon rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon thyme
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375 F
  • In a small mixing bowl, combine all the seasonings, herbs and the oil.
  • Add the raw cashews and toss to coat.
  • Spread the cashews in a single layer on a lined baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Let the nuts cool completely before you transfer them to an airtight container.

Notes

  • To balance out the kick of heat, you can add some white or brown sugar or a dash of maple syrup along with the other ingredients, and whip up a batch of sweet and spicy roasted cashews. 
  • Once you remove the cashews from the oven, let them cool down completely. 
    After this, you can store them in an airtight container or a mason jar and let them stay at room temperature for up to a week, if not longer.
  • Make sure you grease your baking tray before you spread the nuts on them. If possible, use a rimmed baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper to keep the seasonings from burning or sticking to the pan. 
  • You may also want to give them a stir midway through their baking time to make sure they’re perfectly crunchy.
