Roasted Cumin Cashews image

We love these cashews. They are so good. I usually have to make 5-6 batches every year for Christmas, but have not been able to for a couple years, as I had lost the recipe. While moving this fall, I found my recipe, so I am posing this here so that I won't miss place it again. They are a nice change from just plain salted cashews.

I love flavoured and spiced nuts and i also love garlic. It just made sense to me to combine the two and make a delicious snack! Perfect for garlic lovers. Makes a nice addition to a snack tray for a potluck, party, etc. :) If you are watching salt intake feel free to substitute garlic powder in place of garlic salt OR use unsalted cashews.

ROASTED VEGETABLES WITH CASHEW ROMESCO



Roasted Vegetables With Cashew Romesco image

Crisp yet fork-tender roasted vegetables get a spirited lift from a lively romesco sauce made with just a few ingredients. Each plays an important role: Roasted red peppers form the base of the sauce, cashews add creaminess and a bit of crunch, smoked paprika - along with other spices - provide a grounding depth. The sherry vinegar delivers a vibrant sparkle, and you can add more to your taste. Broccoli and cauliflower are the vehicles for the sauce here, but any combination of vegetables will work. The romesco will last for up to 1 week in the refrigerator in an airtight container.

Categories     vegetables, main course, side dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 pounds broccoli (about 1 large head), trimmed and cut into 2½-inch-long florets
1 1/2 pounds cauliflower (about 1 large head), trimmed and cut into 2½-inch-long florets
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt (Diamond Crystal) and black pepper
1/4 cup roasted unsalted cashews
2 garlic cloves, peeled
3 jarred roasted red peppers, drained (about 11 ounces)
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon sherry vinegar, plus more to taste

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. Place the broccoli and cauliflower on a sheet pan in an even layer. Drizzle with 1/4 cup oil, toss to coat and season lightly with salt and black pepper. Roast until the vegetables are crisp and lightly browned around the edges, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • While the vegetables are roasting, in the bowl of a food processor, pulse the cashews and garlic until finely chopped. Add the roasted red peppers, smoked paprika, coriander, cumin, vinegar and 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pulse to incorporate. While the food processor is going, drizzle in the remaining ¼ cup of oil. Turn off, taste and add more salt and sherry vinegar to season if necessary. The sauce should be thick but spreadable and should easily drop off a spoon when lifted.
  • Transfer the hot roasted broccoli and cauliflower to a serving platter. Spoon the cashew romesco on top. Serve immediately.

Yield Makes 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 6

Nonstick vegetable oil spray
2 cups unsalted natural cashews (about 10 ounces)
1/4 cup pure maple syrup (preferably Grade B)
1 1/2 teaspoons cumin seeds
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray sheet of foil with nonstick spray; set aside. Lightly spray rimmed baking sheet with nonstick spray. Toss cashews and all remaining ingredients in medium bowl. Spread cashew mixture evenly in single layer on prepared sheet.
  • Bake nuts until golden brown and coated with maple syrup mixture, stirring occasionally, about 20 minutes. Immediately pour nut mixture out onto foil, spreading evenly. Cool 10 minutes, then separate and break apart any nut clusters. Cool completely. DO AHEAD: Can be made 3 days ahead. Store airtight at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality cashews. Look for whole, unbroken cashews that are free of blemishes and discoloration.
  • Roast the cashews before adding them to the recipe. This will help to bring out their flavor and make them more crunchy.
  • Use a variety of spices to flavor the cashews. Cumin is a classic choice, but you can also add chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, or onion powder.
  • Be careful not to overcook the cashews. They should be roasted until they are golden brown and fragrant, but not so long that they become dry and brittle.
  • Store the roasted cashews in an airtight container at room temperature. They will keep for up to two weeks.
