Spicy Roasted Cashew Nuts Recipes

SWEET & SPICY ROASTED PARTY NUTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat so the maple syrup doesn't get stuck to the pan (this is important). Pour the almonds, pecans and pepitas onto the pan and set it aside.
• In a small bowl, combine the optional rosemary (or any other added seasonings), maple syrup, melted butter, salt, vanilla, and cayenne (if you using). Gently whisk until blended.
• Pour the mixture over the nuts on the prepared baking sheet. Stir well, until all of the nuts are lightly coated. Spread the mixture in a single layer across the pan (the maple syrup will pool on the bottom of the pan, but that's okay).
• Bake, stirring after the first 10 minutes and then every 5 minutes thereafter, until almost no maple syrup remains on the parchment paper and the nuts are deeply golden, 23 to 26 minutes. (The maple syrup coating will be a little sticky right out of the oven, but will harden as the pecans cool.)
• Remove the pan from the oven and stir the nuts one more time, spreading them into an even layer across the pan. Let them cool down for about 10 minutes, then, while the nuts are still warm, carefully separate any large clumps (this may or may not be necessary).
• Let the nut mixture cool completely on the pan. These will keep for up to 2 months in a sealed bag at room temperature.

SWEET, SALTY, SPICY PARTY NUTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly coat with cooking spray.
• Combine walnut halves, pecan halves, almonds, and cashews in a large bowl. Add salt, black pepper, cumin, and cayenne pepper; toss to coat.
• Heat sugar, water, and butter in a small saucepan over medium heat until the butter is melted. Cook for 1 minute and remove from heat. Slowly pour butter mixture over the bowl of nuts and stir to coat.
• Transfer nuts to the prepared baking sheet and spread into a single layer.
• Bake nuts in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Stir nuts until the warm syrup coats every nut. Spread into a single layer, return to the oven, and bake until nuts are sticky and roasted, about 6 minutes. Allow to cool before serving.

SPICY CASHEWS

Steps:

• In a large skillet, saute cashews in butter and oil for 4-5 minutes or until golden brown. Spread on a paper towel-lined baking sheet; let stand for 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl. Sprinkle with salt, chili powder and pepper flakes; toss to coat. Store in an airtight container.

ROSEMARY ROASTED CASHEWS

• Place the nuts on an ungreased baking sheet and bake for about 10 minutes until they are warmed through. Meanwhile, combine the rosemary, pepper, sugar, salt and butter in a large bowl. Toss the warm nuts with the rosemary mixture until the nuts are completely coated. Serve warm.

ROASTED CASHEWS (SPICY MASALA KAJU)

Steps:

• Rinse and fine chop curry leaves or any herbs of your choice. Preheat oven at 360 For 180 C for 15 mins. Grease a baking tray or line it with a parchment paper or foil.
• Add cashews to a mixing bowl and rinse them well under running water. Drain the water completely.
• To the cashews, add salt, ginger garlic, chaat masala, curry leaves, ajwain and red chilli powder. Mix them well.
• Then add gram flour and rice flour. Begin to coat the cashews with the flour. At this stage there will be a lot of dry flour.
• Sprinkle 1 to 2 tablespoons water and mix well adding more only as needed. All of the cashews should be coated well with the dough. Avoid adding too much water as the dough comes off the cashews. Check step-by-step picture.
• Taste test the dough and sprinkle some salt if you prefer. Lastly spray or pour oil and gently mix. Do not overmix else the dough will begin to clump & come off the cashews.
• If all of the cashews are not coated well with the masala, then you can sprinkle more flour on top and mix gently.

THAI SPICED CASHEW NUTS

Steps:

• Turn the oven to 150°C or 302°F and roast the cashews for 10 minutes. This step is mainly to dry them out a bit as sometimes cashews are quite moist. Alternatively, you could also use pre-roasted cashews with no salt or anything added. Just make sure to keep an even closer look at them when roasting to make sure they don't burn.
• Blend the lime leaves in a spice grinder or chop very finely with a super sharp knife.
• Mix together all the ingredients in a bowl and spread out onto a baking tray lined with good quality parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
• Turn the oven up to 165°C or 338°F and bake for about 25 minutes or until deep golden brown while giving the nuts a mix every 5 minutes or so. This is to make sure they brown evenly.
• When you are happy with the colour, remove and let them cool down completely before storing in an airtight container in a cool dry place.
