Categories     Nut     Edible Gift

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup granulated white sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 1/2 tablespoons garam masala
1 egg white, from large egg
1 teaspoon cold water
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 cups whole cashews, unsalted and unfrosted

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 300 degrees, placing the racks on the lower and upper third rungs of the oven. Line two rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the granulated white sugar, light brown sugar, salt and garam masala until no lumps remain. Set aside.
  • In a larger bowl, whisk together the egg white, cold water and vanilla extract until light and frothy.
  • Add the nuts to the egg white mixture and mix thoroughly with a spatula until all the nuts are coated.
  • Pour the sugar mixture into the bowl with the nuts and continue mixing again until all the nuts are thoroughly coated.
  • Divide the coated nuts between the two pans, spreading them into a single layer with the spatula.
  • Bake the nuts for 45 minutes or until the nuts are a deep golden brown; stir the nuts every 15 minutes and rotate the pans top to bottom about halfway through
  • Once baked remove the pans and set them aside until the nuts have cooled to room temperature. Break the nuts into small clusters. They will keep in an airtight container for up to three weeks.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use high-quality cashews. Look for cashews that are plump, unbroken, and free of blemishes.
  • If you don't have a baking sheet, you can use a large skillet instead. Just be sure to spread the cashews out in a single layer so that they cook evenly.
  • Keep an eye on the cashews while they're roasting. They can burn easily, so it's important to stir them frequently.
  • Once the cashews are roasted, let them cool completely before adding the spices. This will help the spices adhere to the cashews better.
  • Store the spiced cashews in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
