Instructions
- Melt butter in microwave in microwave safe dish and stir in measured honey. You can melt in small bursts to avoid burning your butter.
- Pour cashews into a large mixing bowl. You are going to stir them around so have enough room.
- Pour butter honey mixture over cashews and gently toss to coat all pieces.
- Spread honey coated nuts on a flat baking sheet lined with parchment paper. (If you do not have parchment paper - you can instead butter the pan surface well.)
- If desired, sprinkle a bit of sea salt on the honey coated cashews. This can be repeated when they are removed from the oven if you want a saltier taste.
- Place cashews in an oven preheated to 325° F and cook for about 12-14 minutes - stirring every 4 minutes to promote even cooking. Don't let them burn - oven cook times can vary. Remove from over and let cool for 4-5 minutes. Take a spatula or wooden spoon and stir the cooling nuts. Don't eat them yet !! You will burn your tongue! This stir during the cooling process helps prevent some sticking together.
- When completely cool, your honey roasted cashews are ready to enjoy. Store them in an air-tight container on the counter for 4-5 days. If they last that long.
Notes
*When you remove the hot cashews from the oven they will appear soft but they harden as they cool.
*These optional ingredients can add special flavor if applied before cooking: cinnamon, cocoa, spices.
