Chilli Sweet 'n Spicy Cashew Nuts

 

Serves: 2 - 4 people

 

300g raw cashew nuts

25g butter

2 tbsp honey or maple syrup

1 tsp ground cumin

½ tsp chilli flakes

Pinch salt


Preheat oven 170°C, Fan 150°C, 335°F, Gas 3

Melt the butter and honey or maple syrup in a saucepan over a medium heat. Once melted, stir in the cashew nuts and coat with melted butter mix.  Add the spices and salt until well combined.  Remove from heat.  Turn out the nuts onto a large greaseproof-lined baking tray making sure to spread out evenly.  Put the tray into the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes.  Once crisp & lightly browned, remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly.  The cashew nuts are delicious served warm or cool & crunchy as a snack.  Store in an airtight container.

Tip: Make sure to keep an eye on the nuts as they bake - they can burn very quickly!
