Crunchy Honey Chilli Cashew Nuts
The perfect salty and sweet snack - adapt chilli, salt and sugar quantities to suit your taste.
Equipment
- 1 Baking Tray lined with Parchment Paper
- 1 Mixing Bowl
- 1 Metal Spoon
- 1 Tablespoon and Teaspoon measure
- 1 1/3 cup measuring cup optional
Ingredients
- 500 grams raw whole cashew nuts
- 5 tbsp clear honey (approx. 1/3 cup)
- 1 tsp cayenne pepper adjust to taste!
- 2 tbsp demerara sugar
- 2 tsp coarse sea salt
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment and pre-heat the oven to 160 (325) degrees.
- Mix honey and cayenne pepper in a large bowl.
- Add the cashews to the bowl and stir with a metal spoon until they are completely coated in the sweet spicy mixture.
- Spread the cashews out on your lined baking sheet and put into the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, checking and turning the nuts every 5 minutes or so until they are a toasty golden brown.
- Put your demerara sugar and sea salt into a pestle and mortar. Grind the large crystals down a bit so that you have a nice balance or powder and chunky crystals.
- Once the nuts are cooked, leave them to cool for 5 minutes before tossing them in your sugar and salt mixture.
- Once they have completely cooled, enjoy with your choice of drink and store in an airtight container (if they last that long!)
