How To Make Air Fryer Maple Cinnamon Cashews
Preheat Air Fryer to 325 degrees F, air fryer setting. Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl, tossing gently to make sure all the nuts are coated.
Transfer the coated nuts to the Air Fryer basket in a single layer. You may have to do this in 2 batches. Air Fry at 325 degrees F for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket 2-3 times during cooking to prevent burning.
When done, transfer nuts to the baking sheet and leave to cool down completely. The nuts will harden and become crunchy upon cooling.
Pro Tips:
- The nuts may feel a bit soft when just coming out of the oven or Air Fryer. Do not worry, and they will get crunchy upon cooling.
- Maple syrup can be changed to honey.
- Add some cayenne pepper for a spicy kick.
- Substitute cashews for your favorite nuts such as walnuts, pecans, almonds, etc.
- When cooking in the Air Fryer, do not overcrowd the Air Fryer. Cook nuts in batches if necessary.
- Stays fresh in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
- It can be used as a snack, as toppings for desserts, in granolas, or as a gift for the holidays.
How Do I Get Seasoning To Stick To My Air Fried Nuts?
Air frying is a great way to cook any nut, but it’s even more fun when you try out different spices and seasonings. Make sure that your favorite flavors stick around for the long term; make sure that your cashews are coated with oil before adding the seasonings.
How To Roast Cashews In The Oven
Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl, tossing gently to make sure all the nuts are coated
Spread the coated cashews evenly on the prepared baking sheet Bake at 350°F for 8-10mins, stirring at least twice baking to prevent burning.
Remove from heat, cool on a wire rack to room temperature. The nuts will harden and become crunchy upon cooling.
How To Store Roasted Cashews
Nuts are delicious, and it’s a shame that many people dislike them because they tend to go rancid. Nuts contain an essential type of fat called “unsaturated,” making them prone to spoilage if not stored properly in the fridge or freezer!
By storing your pack away from light with low temperatures, you can limit exposure even more – meaning they’ll taste better than ever before while staying fresh longer without any worry about whether or not there will be enough time left on top when eating these tasty treats again soon (or at all)!
