I had some cashews that I bought a little while ago. My original plans for them fell through. I used half of them in granola, and I decided to spice the rest of them.
I specifically remembered coming across a recipe for Curried Cashews last year in Eating Well magazine. I decided to try those.
Recipe is simple. For each 1 cup cashews, you toss them with 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 tablespoon curry powder, and ⅔ teaspoon salt. Roast at 250F for 45 minutes, stirring twice.
These were tasty enough. Alex thought they smelled spicy, but they weren't hot - that would depend on the level of heat in your curry powder. They were a little tart from the lemon juice. Although they're curried, it doesn't overwhelm the cashew taste of the nuts. These were incredibly simple to make. I'd do this again if I had reason to buy cashews.
📖 Recipe
