What to do with candied cashews

You can do so many things with maple cinnamon roasted cashews! Try throwing them in a trail mix or eating them plain as a healthy (ish) snack, baking them into cookies, or pairing them with a cheese plate. The options are endless!

Raw Cashews vs. Roasted Cashews

It's better to use raw cashews for this recipe since we're roasting the cashews, but in a pinch, it's fine to use roasted cashews. Make sure that the cashews are unsalted so that your roasted cashews aren't too salty.

Other Nut Options

This recipe works with a variety of nuts like pecans, almonds, walnuts, and macadamia nuts. It should be noted that some nuts don't take as long to roast in the oven.

Ingredients

  • Raw cashews: make sure they are unsalted cashews.
  • Ground Cinnamon
  • Brown sugar: brown sugar is optional, but it does help carmelize the cashews.
  • Maple syrup: Use real maple syrup. It makes all the difference!
  • Salt

See recipe card for quantities.

Instructions

Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

cashews-and-maple-syrup

Pour the raw cashews into a large bowl and pour the maple syrup over them. Use a spoon or spatula to coat all the cashews in the maple syrup.

Bake in the oven for five minutes. Take the baking sheet out and give the pan a shake to mix the cashews. Bake for five more minutes.

Take the cashews out and let the cashews cool on the baking sheet. You will end up with caramelized cashew nut clusters. The cashews will be golden brown. You can top the cashews with an extra pinch of salt.

Hint: the cashews and maple syrup mixture might look bubbly in the oven. Don't worry, the bubbles will go away. As long as you shake the pan or stir the cashews halfway through, the cashews will be fine.

Substitutions

  • Raw cashews - you can use roasted cashews, although it's better to use raw cashews. Make sure that the nuts are unsalted.
  • Maple syrup - replace the maple syrup with olive oil for a less sweet version of these roasted cashews. If you add olive oil, try adding ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper or ¼ teaspoon chili powder too for a spicy snack.

Variations

  • Ginger - add ¼ teaspoon ground ginger to add an extra zing.
  • Rosemary - add 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary to the cashews before roasted for rosemary maple roasted cashews.
