Ingredients

• 30.15 cups unsalted, roasted or unroasted cashews
• .750.0375 cup granulated sugar
• .50.025 tsp dried crushed chili
• .50.025 tsp cayenne pepper
• .250.0125 tsp salt
• 20.1 tbsp oil

Steps

1. Spread cashews out on a baking sheet and place in a preheated 350 degree oven. Allow to bake about 15-30 minutes until cashews appear golden brown. If your cashews are already roasted, allow to bake for 10 minutes to crisp them.
2. Remove from oven and and slide nuts onto a plate to cool slightly.
3. In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, add the oil and chili flakes and cayenne pepper. Stir. When oil is hot, add the nuts. Stir-fry until the nuts are coated with chili oil.
4. Add the salt and sugar. Stir-fry about 1 minute or until the sugar has dissolved. Don't over-cook, or the sugar will burn.
5. Remove from heat. Slide the nuts onto a sheet of parchment to cool. While cooling, taste-test. Add another sprinkling of dried flakes if not spicy enough or salt to your preference.
6. Store in a covered container when completely cooled.
