Ingredients

Cashews

2 cups raw cashews

1 tbsp olive oil

Seasoning

Zest of 2 lemons

1 tsp cracked black pepper

1/2 tsp flaky sea salt

1/4 tsp garlic powder

Equipment

Air Fryer Parchment Liners

Steps

1
Toss cashews with olive oil until coated.
2
Air fry at 300°F for 8-10 minutes, shaking every 3 minutes, until golden and fragrant.
3
Immediately toss hot cashews with lemon zest, pepper, salt, and garlic powder.
4
Spread on parchment to cool. They crisp up more as they cool.
5
Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.

💡

Tip: Add the lemon zest after cooking — heat destroys the bright citrus flavor. Low temperature prevents burning; cashews have high fat content and go from golden to burnt fast.
