Ingredients

  • 2 ½ cups (342.5 g) raw cashews, unsalted
  • ¼ cup (50 g) light brown sugar, packed
  • ¼ cup (85 g) honey
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.* Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, toss cashews with brown sugar, honey, salt, and melted butter until well coated.
  • Spread the coated cashews in a single layer onto the lined baking sheet.
  • Bake for 15 minutes, stirring once at the halfway point (around 7 or 8 minutes).
  • Remove from the oven and stir again, spreading the nuts out. Let cool for 5 minutes, then stir once more.
  • Let cool completely before serving. If they’re not crunchy enough, return to the oven for an additional 3 to 5 minutes, watching carefully so they don’t burn.
