Ingredients

• 2 cups Raw cashews
• 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary
• 2 teaspoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easier cleanup.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the cashews, olive oil, chopped fresh rosemary, kosher salt, black pepper, and, if desired, cayenne pepper for a bit of heat.

Step 3

Toss the mixture well until the cashews are evenly coated with the oil and seasoning.

Step 4

Spread the seasoned cashews in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet to ensure even roasting.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure they roast evenly. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.

Step 6

Once golden brown and aromatic, remove the cashews from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheet for 5–10 minutes. They will crisp up as they cool.

Step 7

Transfer the roasted cashews to a serving bowl or an airtight container if storing them. Enjoy as a snack, appetizer, or addition to your favorite salad!
