Ingredients

Base Ingredients

  • 2 cups raw cashews

  • Salt to taste

Optional Flavoring Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (for a spicy kick)

  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (for a sweet touch)


Instructions

  1. Preheat the Air Fryer: Set to 350°F (175°C) and preheat for 3–5 minutes.

  2. Toss the Cashews: In a mixing bowl, combine cashews with olive oil and optional seasonings. Toss until evenly coated.

  3. Air Fry: Place cashews in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 8–10 minutes, shaking halfway through.

  • Experiment with different spices and herbs.

  • Keep an eye during the last 2 minutes to avoid burning.

 

  • Cool completely before storing for maximum crunch.
