Ingredients

Scale
- 4 cups raw cashews
- 2 tbsp Sriracha (depending on the spice you want to achieve)
- 1 tsp ginger powder
- 1 tsp lime zest (optional)
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar
- Juice 1/2 lime
- 4 tbsp sesame seeds
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
- In a small saucepan, combine the brown sugar, Sriracha sauce, lime juice, and ginger. Bring to a quick boil, stirring frequently, until the sugar melts. Remove from heat. Taste the heat factor and if you need more spice add it now.
- Pour over the cashews in a mixing bowl. Stir well to evenly coat them. Add the sesame seeds and stir again to combine.
- Spread the cashews out on a baking sheet and bake until crisp, 15-20 minutes, stirring every 5-7 minute minutes. Once done, turn off the oven and leave the cashews in there to dry out even further. Remove from heat, allow to cool and break up into pieces.
Notes
If you want to create more brittle like chunks you can keep the cashews close together while baking. For single nut pieces be sure to spread out.
