How To Make Honey Sesame Roasted Cashews

Honey Sesame Roasted Cashews Homemade honey sesame roasted cashews couldn’t be easier! Cashews + honey + coconut oil + sesame seeds + sea salt = toasty, sweet, salty, nutty clusters of goodness. The honey keeps these stuck in little clusters, which means you get more nuts per bite (which is obviously the goal!). I packed these up to go with our picnic the other night, but we also love chopping them up to throw on top of salads, stir-frys, and any Asian-inspired noodle dish we might be feasting on for dinner.

How To Make Honey Sesame Cashews

Chelsea Colbath
These nuts are the perfect balance of sweet and salty, with an extra toasty, nutty flavor from the sesame seeds! Make them to serve to guests with drinks, throw them in a bag to take on a hike or picnic, or chop them up to go on salads and stir-frys.
TOTAL TIME: 25 minutes
Servings 6

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups raw cashews whole, halved, or pieces all work
  • 2 Tablespoons honey*
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 2 Tablespoons sesame seeds

Instructions
 

  • 1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and set aside.
  • 2. If your honey is super thick and sticky, microwave it with the coconut oil for about 10 seconds to get everything nice and pourable. Dump cashews onto the prepared pan, drizzle with honey and oil, and sprinkle on salt. Use your hands or a rubber spatula to toss/stir the nuts to coat them all in the honey mixture.
  • 3. Bake nuts for 10 minutes, the remove the pan from the oven, stir, and sprinkle on sesame seeds. Stir again and put back in the oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the cashews are slightly golden brown. Stir once more, and let sit at room temperature until fully cooled. Break into clusters and store in an airtight container for up to a week. The honey may still be a little sticky, but should harden once the nuts are fully cooled.

Notes

* I like the super sticky texture and floral flavor of honey with these nuts. Agave or maple syrup could be substituted for slightly different, but equally delicious nuts.
