Why You’ll Love These Cinnamon Maple Cashews

Cinnamon Maple Cashews are a delightful combination of sweet, salty, and nutty flavours. The maple syrup caramelises beautifully in the oven, giving the nuts a rich, glossy coating, while the cinnamon adds a touch of warmth and spice. These nuts are perfect for snacking, adding to a cheese board and also gifting as a homemade option.

Ingredients:

• raw cashews
• maple syrup
• coconut oil, melted or softened
• desiccated coconut
• ground cinnamon
• salt

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven
2. Combine all ingredients
3. Spread and roast
4. Cool and Enjoy!

Tips for Perfect Cinnamon Maple Cashews:

• Even coating: Make sure the cashews are evenly coated with the maple syrup mixture for the best flavour and texture. Stirring them halfway through the roasting process also helps with this.
• Watch closely: Nuts can burn quickly, especially when coated in sugar. Keep a close eye on them during the last few minutes of roasting.
• Variations: Feel free to experiment with different spices. Nutmeg, ginger, or a dash of cayenne can add an interesting twist to these cashews.
• Crunch: Let the nuts cool completely before storing to ensure they don’t go soft.
