Ingredients

The following ingredients have 21 Servings
  • 32 ounces whole roasted unsalted cashews (about 6 1/2 to 7 cups)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (such as canola, plus more for oiling pan)
  • 1/3 cup light brown sugar (packed)
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 2 teaspoons ground chipotle powder (ground chipotle chile pepper)
  • 2 teaspoons sea salt (plus more to taste)

Instruction

  • Position rack in center of oven and preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly oil a large (such as a 12x18x1-inch) rimmed sheet pan and set aside.
  • Put cashews in a large bowl. Mix in canola oil. In a small bowl or large measuring cup, whisk together brown sugar, honey, lime juice, chipotle powder, and salt. Pour over cashews and toss to evenly coat. Spread cashews onto prepared sheet pan.
  • Bake for 24 minutes, stirring every 8 minutes. At that point, bake for a few more minutes until nuts are glazed and golden brown (total baking time will probably be between 25 and 30 minutes). Remove pan from oven and use a slotted spoon or spatula to transfer nuts to a clean sheet pan. Stir every minute or two until nuts are cooled. Taste and season with additional salt, if desired. Once completely cooled, store in an airtight container at room temperature.
