INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup raw cashews
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or melted coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
- Salt to taste
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine the raw cashews with the olive oil or melted coconut oil. Toss well to coat the cashews evenly.
In a separate small bowl, mix together the ground cumin, paprika, ground turmeric, cayenne pepper, and a pinch of salt.
Sprinkle the spice mixture over the coated cashews and toss again to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the spiced cashews in a single layer on the baking sheet.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the cashews for about 10-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and aromatic. Keep a close eye on them, as nuts can burn quickly.
Once roasted, remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cashews cool completely before serving.

Enjoy them as a topping for salads, yogurt, or stir-fries.
TIPS
Customize the spice blend to your liking by adding or adjusting spices based on your preferences.
Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to control the level of spiciness.
