These Cajun cashews may become your family's favorite snack—spicy, savory, and crunchy roasted cashews can be addictive. To increase the spiciness, add more cayenne.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • teaspoon chile garlic sauce , such as Sriracha®
  • 0.75 teaspoons cumin
  • 0.5 teaspoons paprika
  • 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 0.25 teaspoons cayenne pepper
  • 2 cups cashews
  • 1 tablespoon salt

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil, and set aside.

  2. 2

    Melt butter and oil in a medium-size saucepan over low heat. Stir in Worcestershire, Sriracha, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, and cayenne, and simmer for about 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Add cashews and toss until well coated with seasonings.

  3. 3

    Pour nuts onto the prepared baking sheet, and spread out into a single layer. Set the saucepan aside.

  4. 4

    Bake in the preheated oven, shaking pan occasionally, until golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes. Keep an eye on them when baking to make sure they don't burn.

  5. 5

    Pour hot cashews back into the saucepan, sprinkle with coarse salt, and toss until well coated. Transfer the nuts back to the baking sheet to cool. Store in an air-tight container.
