Roasted Cashews = Favorite Snack!
One of my all-time favorite snacks from Trader Joe’s is their sesame cashews. I eat them by the two, three, or four handfulls they are so good! These Maple Sesame Roasted Cashews are an easy at-home version that you can make in your own kitchen but made with no added sugar or additives. Here’s why you need to make these:
4-Ingredients: you only need 4 basic ingredients to get started. Ready in 30 Minutes: roasted cashews ready in no time! Vegan & Gluten-Free: these nuts are both naturally gluten-free and vegan. Versatile: whether you’re eating these as a snack, gifting them to a friend or family, or topping them on a salad, this roasted cashews recipe is so versatile.
What You Need
This roasted cashews recipe calls for 4 very simple ingredients. Check it out:
Whole, raw cashews: raw cashew pieces will also work, but whole cashews are what you should try and find! Maple syrup: maple syrup is used to sweetened the nuts. It also helps the sesame seeds stick to the cashews. Sesame seeds: feel free to use either white or black sesame seeds. You can see what the black sesame seeds look like on in our Thai Salmon Salad. Salt: don’t skip the salt! It brings out the wonderful flavors of the maple syrup, cashews, and sesame seeds.
Do I have to use raw Cashews?
The answer here is yes! If you used already roasted cashews, what would the point of this recipe be 😀
Can I use a different nut?
You are more than welcome to try this with peanuts, walnuts, or pecans. But, the bake time might be slightly different.
How to Roast Cashews
Whether you’re roasting plain cashews or roasting your cashews so they are sweet and sticky like this recipe, it’s so easy! Here’s how to do it in just a few steps:
Recipe Variations
Use honey instead: honey and maple syrup are interchangeable in this recipe. Feel free to doctor up your cashews with even more sesame seeds! Add a pinch of cayenne: Gotta love a sweet and spicy snack. By adding a pinch of cayenne powder (or paprika), you’ll achieve this! Go salty: skip the maple and toss the cashews in a little bit of olive oil and then sprinkle them with salt, garlic powder, chili powder, and rosemary.
Serving Suggestions
Snack: no need to get fancy. Eat these babies as-is by the handful. Salad Topper: need to add the perfect crunch to your salad? Add a cup of Maple Sesame Roasted Cashews! We do something similar in our favorite kale salad with walnuts and it’s so flipping good. Gift Idea: looking for a holiday gift idea? Place these cashews in a Mason jar and gift these to friends and family.
Storage
Let roasted cashews cool completely and then transfer them into an airtight container. Store in a cool, dark place for up to 1 week.
