Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups cashew nuts
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary leaves, finely chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven: Begin by setting your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures that your cashews roast evenly and achieve the perfect crunchy texture.
-
Roast the Cashews: Spread the cashew nuts evenly on an ungreased baking sheet. Place the sheet in the preheated oven and roast the nuts for approximately 10 minutes. You’ll want to keep an eye on them, stirring occasionally, until the cashews are lightly toasted and warmed through.
-
Prepare the Rosemary Mixture: While the cashews are roasting, grab a large mixing bowl. Combine the finely chopped fresh rosemary leaves, cayenne pepper, dark brown sugar, kosher salt, and melted butter. Stir until the mixture is well blended and the sugar starts to dissolve into the butter.
-
Coat the Cashews: Once the cashews are done roasting, remove them from the oven and immediately transfer them to the bowl with the rosemary mixture. Toss the warm nuts thoroughly to ensure they are evenly coated with the flavorful blend.
-
Serve: For the best taste, serve the cashews warm. They make a great snack on their own or can be a wonderful addition to a brunch spread.
