How to Make Honey Roasted Cashews

Not only are these honey roasted cashews a tasty addition to your party spread, but they’re also a reasonably nutritious snack. With protein, fiber, and heart-healthy fats, honey roasted cashews are healthy (especially when compared with other common party snacks!). The trick is moderation…which I am not going to lie, is hard to follow here. You’ve been warned! In fact, this recipe is so quick and scrumptious, you’ll never want to reach for the store-bought kind (sorry, Planters) again.

The Ingredients

Cashews. While mild raw, once they are roasted cashews possess an appealing nutty flavor, buttery texture, and addictive crunch that make them the ideal candidate for a crowd-pleasing party snack. They pair perfectly with honey and a the smoky-spicy spice mixture we’re adding here.Honey. Once coated in honey, the cashews glisten with sweet, golden goodness. The honey caramelizes in the oven, giving the nuts an almost candy-like crunch. Spices. Kosher salt, cayenne pepper, and smoked paprika are the perfect combination. The smokiness is subtle and the cayenne throws a surprise little kick at the end. The result is a salty-sweet-spicy-smoky blend that, when tossed and roasted with buttery cashews, creates an irresistible nutty munchie. If you prefer a non-spicy honey roasted cashews recipe, you can omit the cayenne. Fresh Rosemary. I love adding fresh rosemary to these roasted cashews. It gives them a little extra somethin’ somethin’ and makes them look especially elegant.
