    Smoky Chipotle Roasted Cashews

    Bingeworthy and balanced snack

    The best way to make watching TV even better? The right snacks to go with whatever I'm binging. But most of the savoury snacks are usually full of simple carbs and lack of nutrients. Not really what I'm looking for in a balanced snack. And right there, flavourful roasted nuts come to the rescue. They are full of flavour and are high in healthy fats, giving you that crunchy satiscation without the simple carbs.

    Smoky Chipotle Roasted Cashews

    Nuts are rich in healthy fats and pack a bunch of nutrients to nourish the body. They are a good protein source, rich in copper and magnesium and support brain and bone health. The best part? It only takes 15 minutes to make this bingeworthy snack to eat with your favourite movie or show. Scroll down for some tips and the easy recipe.

    Tips for making this Smoky Chipotle Roasted Cashews 

    • Use raw unsalted nuts as a base to coat with flavours instead of already processed or seasoned ones.
    • Don't disturb or overpower the flavour of the spices by using a vegetable oil that has a strong taste of its own. I usually use light-tasting vegetable oil, like canola or sunflower oil, for that matter.
    • If you don’t have chipotle chili powder on hand you can substitute for other chili powders of your choice. Remember though, that the nuts won't have that smoky flavour, which the chipotle chile is known for.
    • Don't over-bake the cashews otherwise the spices will turn bitter.
    • After taking the nuts out of the oven, let them cool for about half an hour for a crunchy treat. They will have a slightly soft texture when eaten warm.
