    You'll love these honey roasted sesame cashews because they require only five ingredients and five minutes of prep.

    Can't get any better than that! These cashews can be tossed on a salad, or can be set out as a party appetizer or snack.

    If you're intimidated by the addition of cayenne pepper, don't worry. It adds a tiny touch of heat to balance out the sweetness of the honey.

    Ingredients

    For this recipe, you'll need whole or halved cashews, toasted sesame seeds, honey, salt, and cayenne pepper. 

    Cashews an also be substituted with peanuts or almonds, if desired. Or, use a can of mixed nuts instead.

    It is important to line your baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking sheet. Your honey glazed cashews will be very sticky coming out of the oven, and parchment paper will make them much easier to remove. 

    The glaze hardens as your cashews cool, which will make it much more difficult to remove from an unlined baking sheet later on.

    Give as a gift

    Honey roasted sesame cashews also make a great gift. After your cashews have cooled completely, carefully package them into small cello bags to give as gifts to coworkers or friends. Or, package an entire batch into a decorative tin for gift giving.
