Do not use roasted cashews for this recipe. They must be raw.

I recommend using freshly squeezed lime juice for this recipe opposed to bottled lime juice.

Make sure all of the cashews are coated in the oil, lime juices and spices.

Flip the cashews halfway through baking to prevent them from burning.
