Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Measure out your 3 tablespoon everything bagel seasoning and set aside.
In a large bowl, mix the 1 tablespoon honey and 2 tablespoon oil. Add the 2 cups cashews to it and toss to coat. spread these out on an unlined baking sheet so they are in one even layer.
Bake for 15 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes. It's super important to stir them every 5 minutes to make sure they are roasted all around and don't burn! Nuts go from roasted to burnt VERY fast.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle the evrything seasoning over the cashews evernly. Let them cool completely for the honey mixture to set, then scrap of the pan and enjoy!

Expert Tips

Don’t line the pan: I know it can be a bit messier, but not lining it gives you a better roasted flavor. This is because the dark pan color actually produces more heat than white parchment paper or foil.
Stir every 5 minutes: This does 2 things. It helps the cashews become roasted all around and it ensures you don’t leave them and they burn. Nuts go from toasted to burned REALLY fast!
Set your oven rack pretty high: I like to set it two notches from the top to get enough direct heat to roast.
Roast as long as you like: If you like the nuts more blonde, don’t roast as long. If you like them darker, roast a little longer. Just be sure to get that seasoning on ASAP when the cashews come out of the oven!

common questions:

What should I serve these cashews with?

Honey-roasted cashews can be used in so many ways beyond just a snack. They can be used as a salad topper, as part of a charcuterie board, in a savory trail mix, or in a savory snack mix—just to name a few ideas.

Should I soak the cashews before roasting?

This is sometimes done thinking you will get a crunchier texture. It’s not necessary to soak them in my testing.

Why should I use raw versus roasted cashews?

This recipe is specifically designed with a roasting time for raw cashews. This allows you to roast them to your liking. You can use pre-roasted cashews but the time to bake them with the honey mixture will be much less and roasted nuts often already have added salt.

Can I use butter instead of oil?

You can use a honey butter mixture if you are using already roasted nuts. The issue with butter is that you don’t get that nice crunch and it’s way easier to burn the nuts than with oil. Some recipes also use egg whites instead of oil or butter and this works well but it's messier so I didn't feel it was worth it.

storage & meal prep tips

Room Temperature

These can be kept at room temp in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for months. I like to keep them in a glass jar or ziplock bag. You can also refrigerate them to extend their life longer but it’s not necessary.

Meal Prep

Since these are the perfect snack, I recommend doubling or tripling this recipe to make enough for a while! You can use them for kid's lunches, as a grab-and-go snack, or as a salad topper.

Serving size: The serving size is approximately ⅓ of a cup of cashews.
