I use this recipe in many of my Asian dishes that call for cashews. But, they would also be great in a bowl for your holiday guests to nosh on. I make them with whole cashews or with bits and pieces; either way they’re an excellent treat. They are easy to fix, with a minimum of ingredients, and they taste so yummy. FYI: They make excellent gifts to give to your friends and loved ones during the holiday season. So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.

How To Make essential goodness: honey roasted cashews

Step 1

PREP/PREPARE

Step 2

Chef's Note: Baking anything coated with sugar and/or honey can be a dicey experience. One minute they are okay, and the next minute, they taste burned... and it can be the difference of a single quick minute. So, keep a watchful eye on them as they bake, and when they begin to brown, remove them from the oven regardless of the time.
Step 3

Gather your ingredients.
Step 4

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 5

Place a rack in the lower position, and preheat the oven to 335f (170c).
Step 6

Add the honey, butter and cinnamon to a small saucepan, over medium heat.
Step 7

Bring the mixture up to a slow simmer, and continue to simmer for 2 minutes.
Step 8

Remove from the heat, add the cashews, and coat thoroughly.
Step 9

Add the cashews to the baking sheet, and spread out evenly.
Step 10

Place in the preheated oven, until they glaze and begin to brown, about 15 – 18 minutes.
Step 11

Chef’s Note: About halfway through the baking, open the oven and give them a toss.
Step 12

Allow them to cool for about 15 minutes.
Step 13

Add the coconut sugar, and a pinch of cinnamon, to a bowl, then dump in the cashews, and toss to coat.
Step 14

PLATE/PRESENT
Step 15

Chef's Note: Allow the cashews to cool completely before storing in a tightly capped jar.
Step 16

Serve with your favorite Asian dishes, or serve them with your favorite wine. Enjoy.
Step 17

Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
Step 18

ADDITIONAL IDEA
Step 19

If you are feeling a bit adventurous, you might try adding just a pinch of cayenne to the coconut sugar, and cinnamon before tossing… That’s only if you’re feeling a bit adventurous.
