Method

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    In a medium mixing bowl, combine the whole raw cashews, extra-virgin olive oil, dried thyme, garlic powder, and coarse sea salt.

  3. 3

    Stir thoroughly for 1 minute until every cashew is evenly coated with the seasoned oil.

  4. 4

    Spread the seasoned cashews in a single, even layer across the prepared baking sheet, ensuring space between them so they roast rather than steam.

  5. 5

    Bake at 325°F (165°C) for 10 to 12 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the nuts turn a light golden color and smell deeply nutty and aromatic.

  6. 6

    Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cashews rest undisturbed for 3 minutes; they will finish crisping up as they cool slightly.

Tip

Allow the cashews to cool completely before storing in an airtight glass jar at room temperature for up to two weeks.
