Sweet and Spicy Roasted Cashews

This recipe is dedicated to those lazy days you just want something a little delicious to nibble and snack on; something that's fast, easy, and yummy. I came up with this sweet and spicy roasted cashews  recipe when I was in my scavenger mode yesterday and came across a bag of cashews in our pantry (thank you Ty for tossing it in our grocery cart at the last minute)! It only took 10 minutes to make and it hit just the spot. I'm definitely going to start making this more often!



What you'll need:
1/2 bag of unseasoned cashews (even better if you use mixed nuts like walnuts, pecans, and almonds, maybe even some dried cranberries)
2 tbsp. of brown sugar
2 tbsp. of cinnamon
1/2 tsp. of cayenne pepper
1 tsp. of butter

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place cashews on baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes.
 2. Meanwhile, mix the brown sugar, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, and butter together in a separate bowl. Season to taste.
3. Toss the cashews with the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture until all cashews are coated. Serve warm!
