Time 22m

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

2 cups raw cashews*
1 1/2 Tbsp melted coconut oil or olive oil
1 Tbsp maple syrup
1 Tbsp green curry paste*
1 tsp curry powder*
1 1/2 Tbsp coconut sugar ((plus more to taste))
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp ground turmeric
1/2 scant tsp sea salt
1 pinch each ground cardamom and coriander ((optional))
1 tsp lime zest ((optional))

Steps:

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (163 C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper (use more baking sheets, as needed, if increasing batch size).
Add cashews to a bare baking sheet and toast for 5 minutes.
In the meantime, add oil, maple syrup, and green curry paste to a medium mixing bowl and whisk thoroughly to combine.
Remove slightly toasted cashews from the oven and add directly to the curry mixture. Toss to combine. Then add remaining spices (curry powder through sea salt), and toss thoroughly to combine.
Add back to baking sheet and bake for another 8-12 minutes, or until golden brown and roasted. Once the cashews have cooled a bit, taste a cashew and adjust seasonings as needed while still warm on sheet. Add more cumin for smokiness, turmeric for earthiness, curry powder for more intense curry flavor, or coconut sugar for sweetness. Optional: sprinkle with lime zest and toss to coat.
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 weeks. Best within the first week!

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories Food & Cooking Appetizers

Yield Makes 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

2 1/2 cups whole cashews
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1 1/2 teaspoons finely grated orange zest
3/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
Pinch of cayenne pepper

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside. In a medium bowl, mix cashews with corn syrup until evenly coated. Set aside.
In a small bowl, combine salt, zest, ginger, coriander, cumin, and cayenne. Sprinkle mixture over nuts, and stir until nuts are evenly coated. Transfer to one of the prepared baking sheets; spread in a single layer, separating nuts.
Bake until the nuts are golden and the syrup is bubbling, about 15 minutes. Immediately transfer nuts to the other baking sheet. Separate cashews; let cool.

Tips:

Use fresh ginger. Fresh ginger has a more intense flavor than dried ginger, and it will give your cashews a more vibrant taste.
Toast the cashews before cooking them. Toasting the cashews will help them to develop a richer flavor and a more crispy texture.
Use a variety of spices. The spices in this recipe can be adjusted to your taste. Feel free to add more or less of any of the spices, or to substitute different spices altogether.
Don't overcook the cashews. Overcooked cashews will be tough and chewy. Cook them just until they are heated through and slightly golden brown.
Store the cashews in an airtight container. Spiced ginger cashews can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Spiced ginger cashews are a delicious and easy-to-make snack that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are a good source of protein, fiber, and healthy fats, and they make a great addition to any party or gathering. Whether you are looking for a healthy snack or a flavorful addition to your next party, spiced ginger cashews are a great choice.
