CURRIED CASHEWS
Steps:
- Adjust a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spread the cashews in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake them until they are just beginning to turn golden, about 7 minutes. Remove from the oven and let the nuts cool completely, about 30 minutes. Leave the oven on. Meanwhile, combine the brown sugar, salt, curry powder, cumin, and cayanne in a medium bowl. Once the nuts have cooked, beat the egg whites in a medium bowl with an electric mixer until they are very frothy, about 2 minutes. Add the cashews and toss to coat evenly. Strain the cashews through a fine mesh sieve to remove the excess egg whites. Transfer the cashews to the bowl with the spices and toss well to coat. Spread the cashews back onto the baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes. Stir the cashews and bake until the cashews are fragrant and golden brown, another 4 to 5 minutes

Tips:
- Soaking the cashews: Soaking the cashews in hot water for 10-15 minutes before cooking helps soften them and reduce their cooking time.
- Using a food processor: A food processor makes quick work of chopping the cashews and other ingredients. If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the ingredients by hand, but it will take a bit longer.
- Adjusting the spice level: The amount of curry powder you use will determine the spiciness of the dish. If you like your curries mild, start with 1 tablespoon of curry powder and adjust to taste. If you like them spicy, you can use up to 2 tablespoons of curry powder.
- Adding vegetables: You can add vegetables to this dish to make it a more complete meal. Some good options include diced carrots, celery, and bell peppers.
- Serving suggestions: Curried cashews can be served as an appetizer, side dish, or main course. They are also a great addition to salads and wraps.
