Recipe Pro-Tips:
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.

Such a quick and easy way to jazz up cashews! Dangerously delicious. Can't wait to try the Tandoori- spiced ones next 🙂
Whoot whoot!! 🙂

Would it work if I have roasted cashews? What modifications will I need?
I assume they would brown more easily because they are already pre-roasted.

Made this as part of my appetizers to go with cocktail hour. Very bland and no one was eating them. I am a seasoned cook and had my own catering business. When I tried them before serving I did think I should have gone with my gut and added more salt. Definitely needs more salt. Maybe even sub spices with Tajin.
Idk how these are bland, but everyone is entitled to their own opinion. You can always adjust salt to taste.
