Honey Roast Cashew Nuts

Dangerously more-ish - make at your peril!

A lovely, naughty, sweet and salty, crunchy snack that ticks all of the boxes!

I don't need to say much more, other than 'Enjoy' (in moderation)!

Ingredients

• 200g cashew nuts
• 40g honey
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 25g granulated sugar
• Optional spices - see notes

Method

1. Pre-heat the oven to gas mark 3 / 325F / 150C fan oven, and line a large baking tray with non-stick baking paper (or a silicone mat).

2. Put the honey into a microwaveable bowl, and heat for 30-40 seconds until really runny (or you could do this in a pan).

3. Add the salt, sugar and cashew nuts and stir until the nuts are thoroughly coated (I find a silicone spatula is the easiest way to do this).

4. Spread the nuts out onto the lined tray, so they're not touching each other.

5. Bake until a rich, dark, burnished dark golden colour, turning once or twice, but trying to keep them seperate. Around 25 to 40 minutes, depending on your oven. Take them as dark as you dare, without burning them - they will be lovely and crunchy! If you don't bake them for long enough, you'll just end up with a sticky goo on them.

6. Allow to cool and store in an airtight container. They should keep for a couple of weeks, but I doubt they'll last that long!

Notes
Feel free to add spices such as cinnamon, chilli flakes or cayenne pepper etc. to change up the flavours, or use different nuts.
