    Ingredients needed

    Ingredient notes

    • Cashews- for this recipe you need to use raw unsalted cashews.
    • Honey- use a good quality honey for the best results. I recommend a raw unfiltered honey for these.
    • Coconut oil- unrefined virgin coconut oil.
    • Seasonings- cinnamon, salt, and cayenne pepper.

    How to make honey roasted cashews

    full directions in recipe card below

    1. Start by melting coconut oil with honey over medium low heat till smooth.
    2. Stir in seasonings, and carefully fold in cashews.
    1. Spread out in an even layer on a parchment lined baking sheet.
    2. Roast in preheated oven until golden brown. Allow to cool and Enjoy!

    Storage tips

    Store them in an airtight glass jar or container in a cool place for 4-5 days or freeze them for longer storage.

    Substitutions or variations

    You could substitute the cashews with almonds, peanuts, pecans or any of your favorite nuts. I do recommend using unsalted, uncooked nuts.

    If you don't have coconut oil, or prefer you could substitute with butter or a dairy free butter if needed.

    Cayenne pepper is optional, but I love a little spice with the sweet and salty flavor profile.
