Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Spicy Cayenne Cashews.
Step 1
In a medium bowl, vigorously whisk the egg white until it froths up beautifully.
Step 2
Toss in the cashews, ensuring they are thoroughly coated in the egg white.
Step 3
Let these nutty gems soak for 30 minutes, allowing them to soak up all the delicious flavors.
Step 4
While the cashews are soaking, preheat your oven to a cozy 250°F (120°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for effortless cleanup.
Step 5
In a separate small bowl, mix together sugar, ground cumin, salt, and cayenne pepper.
Step 6
Once the cashews have soaked, sprinkle this flavorful blend over them and give everything a good toss to ensure even coverage.
Step 7
Spread the cashews out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven, stirring halfway through, for about 40 minutes or until they release a delightful aroma.
Step 9
After that, reduce the oven temperature to 200°F (93°C) and continue baking, stirring every 20 minutes, until the cashews appear dry, which should take an additional 30 to 40 minutes.
Step 10
Once they are perfectly roasted, transfer the cashews to a container and allow them to cool.
Step 11
Remember to shake or stir them occasionally to keep them from sticking together.
Step 12
Enjoy your crunchy, flavorful cashews as a snack or a delightful addition to your favorite dishes!.
