Curry Cashews

Roasted, curry-spiced cashews, sweetened with maple syrup and a little kick from cayenne pepper.  My other recipe for sweet and spicy roasted nuts is a big hit with my family, so I thought it would be fun to try it with curry powder. They’re ready in less than 20 minutes and super-easy to put together.  

How to Make Curry Cashews

All you do is mix all of the ingredients in a bowl.

A silicone spatula works great to scoop up the sauce and coat the cashews. 

Then roast on a baking tray lined with a silicone mat for 12-15 minutes, stirring halfway through.  How easy is that?  Then out comes some delightfully spiced roasted curried cashews. They're great for snack time or a fun little appetizer.

Substitutions

• The maple syrup acts as a sweetener and holds the seasonings on so if you substitute it with something else, use another liquid sweetener like agave syrup.   
• I didn’t test the recipe with any other nut, but almonds would probably be pretty good.  Just make sure they are unsalted and not roasted.

Tips

• The cashews will still be soft when pulled out of the oven, they’ll firm up as they cool.
• When testing, the cashews browned more quickly with unbleached parchment paper, so I would recommend just using a silicone mat for oil-free roasting.  The mat acts as a shield from the heat coming from the pan, so sometimes it prevents browning in certain recipes.  In this case, using a silicone mat protects the nuts from burning since we don’t have the oil to protect them.
