Ingredients
- 2 cups raw cashews
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 0.5 teaspoon garam masala
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric, garam masala, cayenne pepper, chili powder, sugar, salt, and lime zest. Mix well to create a spice paste.
Step 3
Add the raw cashews to the bowl and toss them in the spice paste until they are evenly coated.
Step 4
Spread the spiced cashews in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 5
Bake for 8-10 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the cashews are fragrant and lightly golden. Keep an eye on them 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
Optional: Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving for an extra burst of flavor and color.
Step 8
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to a week. Enjoy!
