FRESHLY ROASTED CASHEWS

I purchase raw cashews and roast them myself to make sure no gluten gets into my nuts. I have found the flavor to be SO.WONDERFUL! The aroma of freshly roasted nuts is like no other! It is VERY easy to do! 1 lb. raw cashews. Spread cashews on a jelly roll pan. Lightly drizzle with Olive Oil. Use a good high quality brand. Sprinkle liberally with a good high quality full bodied salt. Stir to make sure all cashews are lightly coated with oil and salt. Place on middle rack in preheated oven at 275º. Let roast for about 15 min. Stir well and place back in the oven. Repeat every 5 minutes after this stirring each time until nuts turn a golden brown and give off a wonderful aroma. When finished, pour nuts onto paper towels to absorb excess oil. Store in a zip lock back after they have cooled. We used nuts in a lot of our cooking. They add a wonderful crunch to make up for a loss of crutons in a salad, or they add zip and flavor to a simple rice dish. Overall, they are good for you and roasting them yourself makes them even better!
