Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 tablespoon butter
1 cup unsalted cashews
1/2 cup granulated sugar
Pinch of salt (optional)

Steps:

  • Add the butter to a small saucepan over medium heat and let it melt.
  • Add the sugar and cashews.
  • Stir the mixture frequently (it burns easily so watch it closely) until the sugar melts and caramelizes over the nuts. Once all the sugar has melted and coated the nuts, they're done.
  • Spread them onto a plate or piece of parchment paper so they don't all stick together. Some will clump together, which is fine.
  • Allow them to cool then store them in a sealed container.

Time 1h50m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 egg white
3 cups unsalted raw cashews
⅓ cup white sugar
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons salt
1 ½ teaspoons cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Whisk egg white in a medium bowl until frothy. Mix in cashews until coated. Let soak for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Combine sugar, cumin, salt, and cayenne pepper in a small bowl. Pour over cashews and toss to coat. Spread cashews on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven, stirring halfway through, until fragrant, about 40 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 200 degrees F (93 degrees C). Continue baking, stirring every 20 minutes, until cashews look dry, 30 to 40 minutes.
  • Transfer cashews to a container and let cool, shaking or stirring occasionally to prevent them from sticking together.
