My friend Aaron was raving about these ultra addicting Sriracha Cashews he was having from Nature Box the other day. He suggested that I tried them so I looked them up and thought it was funny that the ingredients didn’t actually contain any Sriracha sauce. So Instead of buying them I set out to create my own. Since I’ve never tried the Nature Box kind I can’t say they taste the same but I do think these are pretty addicting. I like the spice but if you can’t take the heat you cut the Sriracha in half.
I’m off in SF this week so I’m going to see what Aaron thinks about this home made version. If you make these would love to hear what you guys think!
SRIRACHA AND HONEY ROASTED CASHEWS print this recipe!
INGREDIENTS
4 cups of Raw Cashews 1/2 cup of Honey 2 tablespoons of Sriracha (use less if you can’t take the heat!) 2 tablespoons of Olive Oil 1 thumb size grated Ginger 3 tablespoon of Sesame Seeds |
PREPARATION
1. Preheat the oven to 350º. In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, sriracha, ginger and olive oil. Pour mixture with raw cashews and stir until evenly coated. Fold in sesame seeds.
2. On a lined baking sheet (don’t forget to line the baking sheet or it makes for a little messier clean up!) spread cashews evenly onto sheet tray. Bake for 10-15 minutes stirring occasionally. Once golden allow cashews to cool before serving!
