    Why you will love this recipe:

    • The taste! These glazed nuts are a little sweet, and a little savoury. The curry flavour is mild, not strong, and gives these roasted nuts the most unique taste. They are nice and crunchy and so satisfying!
    • They are so quick and easy to make and only require a couple minutes of hands on time.
    • These curried cashews store really well and make a great healthy snack to take on the go. Just like chocolate covered pecans.
    • These homemade roasted nuts taste way better than anything you can buy at the store and are good enough to serve to guests as an appetizer or snack at parties.
    • These roasted nuts are healthy, gluten free, dairy free, vegan, refined sugar free and paleo.

    Ingredients and substitutions:

    The ingredients needed to make homemade curry cashews and almonds in small bowls.
    • Raw cashews and almonds - cashews and almonds are the star of this recipe. Be sure to use raw nuts and not roasted nuts. If you prefer to use only cashews or only almonds you can do that too.
    • Curry powder - you can use any type of curry powder that you like to make these curried nuts.
    • Sea salt - to help give these spices nuts the best salty flavour.
    • Avocado oil - this helps the nuts become extra crispy and crunchy when roasted. You could swap this for olive oil.
    • Honey or maple syrup - either of these natural sweeteners can be used to give these spiced nuts that perfect sweet flavour while keeping them refined sugar free.

    How to make (step-by-step):

    Step one:

    First, preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Step two:

    Next, Place the cashews and almonds in a large glass or ceramic bowl.

    Step three:

    Then add the remaining ingredients to the bowl with the nuts and combine well with a spoon.

    Step four:

    Now transfer the nuts to the parchment paper lined baking sheet and spread them out into an even layer.

    Step five:

    Then place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, until the nuts are roasted. Let the nuts cool, then enjoy!

    Step by step directions for making roasted curry cashews and almonds.

    Tips and variations:

    • If you are vegan use maple syrup instead of honey.
    • You can use any type of curry powder that you like for making these nuts.
    • Be sure to use raw nuts and not roasted nuts for this recipe.
    • If you are serving a crowd or want extras you can double the recipe and bake the nuts on two baking sheets.

    How to serve:

    These nuts are delicious served as they are as a quick snack that you can eat anytime. You can also use them to top salads or to serve as an appetizer or snack at parties.

    How to store:

    Frequently asked questions:

    Do you need to soak cashews before cooking?

    Whether or not you need to soak cashews before cooking with them will depend on the recipe. In general, if you are making a sauce, dip, or dessert with cashews it is recommended that you soak them first to help soften them. If you are roasting them like in this recipe you usually don't need to.

    What if I'm allergic to cashews?

    Then simply replace the cashews with more almonds.

    What if I'm allergic to almonds?

    Then replace the almonds with extra cashews.

    Can I gift these roasted cashews?

    Yes! These curried cashews make a great gift because they keep well at room temperature for a long time.

    Do these nuts taste like curry?

    No they don't. They have the perfect sweet yes spiced flavour and you really can't taste the curry spice.
