Honey Za’atar Roasted Cashews


Description

Simple sweet and salty recipe to spice up your cold-weather party snacks!

Recipe yields 2 cups.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb. raw, unsalted cashews
  • 2 tbs. extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 tbs. honey
  • 2 tsp. za’atar (plus 1/2 tsp for sprinkling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350˚F.
  2. Mix olive oil, honey, and 2 tsp. of za’atar.
  3. In a separate large bowl, pour honey mixture over nuts and toss to coat.
  4. Spread cashews onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Lightly sprinkle with remaining 1/2 tsp za’atar.
  5. Bake for 6-8 minutes. Remove from oven to toss cashews, and return to oven for another 6-8 minutes, or until golden.

Notes

  • Za’atar already contains a healthy amount of salt, so I didn’t add any. If you’re going for a more savory roasted cashew, feel free to add some. If you’re going for a sweeter flavor, try adding cinnamon or a small amount of brown sugar.
  • For a vegan option, use maple syrup or date honey.
