Easy Spicy Roasted Cashews

I hadn’t realised before but most store-bought roasted nuts are made with wheat and sometimes dairy too.

Thankfully, it’s SO easy to make them yourself. And this way you get to make them just how you like them.

You can choose which nuts you want to use, how spicy you want it and if you want to add any additional flavours.

Most importantly, you can tailor it to suit your dietary needs.

I made this recipe with my cousins on a trip to Connemara, Ireland, earlier this year.

Since between the three of us there is a photographer, stylist and food blogger – it seemed natural that we should create our own shoot.

So this recipe is very much a family effort and we got to use some wonderful local foods and props too. Enjoy!
