Recipe Tips

• How to make them extra crispy:
  Spread coated cashews back on the sheet pan and roast for an additional 2 minutes.
• Can I make these ahead of time?
  Yes, store in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Warm them briefly before serving for best flavor.
• What nuts can I substitute?
  Pecans, almonds, or mixed nuts also work well with this seasoning blend.
• How spicy are they?
  The cayenne adds mild heat—reduce for less spice, or add extra for a stronger kick.
• Can I use salted cashews instead?
  Yes, but reduce the added kosher salt to avoid over-salting.
