Notes

Storage, Freezing, and Reheating of Air Fryer Roasted Cashews

Storing:
  1. Room Temperature:
    • Once the roasted cashews have completely cooled, transfer them to an airtight container.
    • Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
    • Properly stored, the cashews should remain fresh and crunchy for up to two weeks.
Freezing:
  1. Freezing for Long-Term Storage:
    • Ensure the roasted cashews are completely cool before freezing to prevent condensation.
    • Place them in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze for about an hour. This step prevents them from sticking together in clumps.
    • After they are individually frozen, transfer the cashews to a zip-top freezer bag, pressing out as much air as possible.
    • Label the bag with the date, and the cashews can be stored in the freezer for up to 6 months.
Reheating:
  1. Refreshing the Roast:
    • If you feel your stored cashews have lost some of their crunch or you want to warm them up, you can refresh them in the air fryer.
    • Preheat the air fryer to 300°F (150°C).
    • Spread the cashews in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
    • Heat for 2-3 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through. Be careful to not over-roast them.
    • Allow them to cool for a few minutes before consuming, as they'll regain their crunchiness.
  2. From the Freezer:
    • It's best to let frozen cashews thaw at room temperature.
    • Once thawed, if you wish to refresh their crunchiness, follow the above reheating steps.
Remember, whether you're storing, freezing, or reheating, the primary goal is to retain the cashews' natural flavors and delightful crunch. With these guidelines, you can enjoy your air fryer roasted cashews for longer, ensuring they're always a delectable treat.
