These nuts are to die for! I do not like spicy food and I love these. My mom gave me this recipe and I am now making them on a weekly basis!

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.
