Air Fryer Maple BBQ Roasted Cashews

Trader Joe’s might be the best place to get a great deal on nuts. Last night, I made a TJ’s run and picked up some raw cashews. My kids really loved spiced nuts, so today while they were busy with school work. I made a batch of Air Fryer Maple BBQ Roasted Cashews.

Cashews are a great snack, as they are actually fruits from the cashew tree. Which is a tree that is native to Brazil, but is now grown in tropical climates, around the world.

The tree produces red flowers, that resemble apples, called drupes. The cashew nut is extracted and processed from the drupes, and after a long processing journey, becomes the cashew nut.

Ingredients Used Today:

• 1 cup raw cashews
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 teaspoon Maple BBQ Rub

Here are the simple Steps To Make Air Fryer Roasted Cashews,

These are the cashews used in this recipe.

First, add the cashews to a small mixing bowl.

Then, mix in the olive oil and maple BBQ rub.

Then, toss with your hands, because it helps to get the olive oil and spice blend over the cashews.

Finally, place the cashews into the air fryer basket and set the temperature to 370 degrees F, for 5-7 minutes. (air fryer setting)

What is the Difference Between Raw and Roasted Cashews?

Today, I used raw cashews. Although they are labeled as raw, they are un-shelled, which means that have already been roasted to remove the shell. If you purchase roasted cashews in the store, that means that they have been roasted twice. First, they have been roasted to remove the shell, and the second time they have been roasted a second time.

Where to Buy Cashews

Cashews are very expensive. Therefore, the best places would be online, box stores, or in Whole Foods or Trader Joes. Anytime there is a sale, therefore, I stock up.

Why Do We Roast Cashews?

Roasting any nut really enhances the flavor and aroma of the nut. Cashews do very well roasted. Consequently roasting cashews is a very popular snack, and appetizer.

How to Store Roasted Cashews

The best place to store air fryer roasted cashews is an airtight container. They will last a few days. After that, you may want to place them in the refrigerator and they will last about a week.

However, since our cashews are coated with olive oil and spices, they will not do well in the refrigerator. This is because the olive oil when cold usually becomes hard.
