Spicy Cashews


I like a good salty, but not unhealthy snack that I can munch on frequently. Though my favorite snack, cheese, doesn't necessarily fit this category, my 2nd favorite, nuts, do.


I eat nuts and nut butters all the time, buying raw and preparing my own whenever possible. The pre-spiced varieties always have corn syrup and sugar and other stuff which I don't care for on my nuts.


My favorite nuts may be pecans, but my favorite nuts to "spice up" are cashews. I toss raw cashews with a lil oil, toss them with salt, roast them at 325 for 10 minutes, then toss them with some spicy chili powder. Now there's a snack that's much healthier than all that overprocessed junk, yet still satisfyingly salty and crunch.
