Notes
Tip: To keep the cashews crunchy, store them in an airtight container at room temperature.
For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of smoked paprika or cayenne pepper to the cashew mixture before roasting. If you prefer a milder version, reduce the amount of Sriracha to suit your taste. These roasted cashews can be stored in an airtight container for up to two weeks, making them a great make-ahead snack for any occasion.
