Ingredients

2 teaspoons peanut oil
2 teaspoons dark brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon five-spice powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper
2 teaspoons water
1 cup roasted, unsalted cashews

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 °. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
Heat peanut oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add brown sugar, five-spice powder, cumin, black pepper, red pepper, and water to pan. Stir until sugar dissolves and mixture begins bubbling. Add cashews to pan; cook 2 minutes or until well coated, stirring constantly.
Spread cashews evenly on prepared baking sheet, using 2 forks to separate them and leaving as much room as possible between nuts. Sprinkle nuts evenly with salt. Bake at 350 ° for 7 minutes or until fragrant. Cool slightly on pan before serving.
