How to roast cashews
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Arrange cashews in an even layer on a baking sheet.
2 Place baking sheet into oven for approximately five minutes. Remove cashews from oven and stir gently to prevent burning.
3 Continue roasting cashews for another five minutes, remove and stir again. Return cashews to oven for another five to 10 minutes.
4 Remove cashews from oven once they are slightly golden brown, approximately 15 to 20 minutes total roasting time. Let cool slightly until cashews are warm but can still be handled.
5 Use a pastry brush to coat cashews lightly with oil while the nuts are still warm. Sprinkle with preferred amount of salt and allow to cool..
