1. In a large mixing bowl, combine cashews and olive oil.
2. Mix until all cashews are evenly coated.
3. Sprinkle the seasoning and mix until the seasonings are evenly distributed
4. Pour in the air fryer basket and cook on a manual setting at 330 degrees F for 3 minutes and shake the basket. Return to the air fryer for an additional 2 to 4 minutes or until evenly golden.
5. Take it out and let it cool off completely before eating.

Baker’s notes

Skills

Coating your cashew with oil prior to sprinkling the seasoning is important. If you do all at once, the seasoning will “clump” up together with the oil making a paste and it will be challenging to have every cashew with some seasonings.

It is important not to overcrowd your basket. Shaking halfway through the cook helps to make more of an even roasting

When they are all nice and golden, they will be hot and a bit on the soft side. It is important to let them cool off completely before eating them.
