Equipment

  • Digital Food Scale
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Half Sheet Pan
  • Parchment Paper Sheets

Ingredients
 
 

Cashews

  • 566 grams raw cashews
  • 28 grams salted butter
  • 85 grams raw honey
  • 57 grams cane sugar

Topping

  • 85 grams cane sugar
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 300°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, add the cashews and set aside.
  • In a medium saucepan, add the butter, honey, and 1/4 cup cane sugar and melt over medium heat. When the sugar is completely dissolved, remove from the heat. Pour the sugar mixture over the cashews and stir to coat completely.
  • Transfer the cashew mixture to the prepared baking sheet and spread out evenly. Bake for 35 minutes, stirring halfway through.
  • To make the topping: In a small dish, add together the ¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons cane sugar and 1 teaspoon sea salt and mix together. Sprinkle over the top of the warm cashews and stir to coat completely. Let cool completely on the baking sheet.
  • Store in an airtight container for 1 month.

Notes

Tips
  • Use organic raw cashews for this recipe. You don’t want to use roasted and salted cashews because you are going to roast and salt them! They could end up burnt and too salty if you use already roasted and salted cashews.
  • Parchment paper helps incredibly with this recipe as these become very sticky and will harden onto the baking sheet once cooled. So, I highly recommend using parchment paper.
  • These are a great snack to make a few days ahead of a party! They will last for up to 1 month (if you don’t eat them all!). So that makes them a great recipe to make ahead of time.
  • Be sure to store in an airtight container. I like to use a glass jar for this and I keep that in my pantry.
