Method

  1. Heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Spread the nuts on a baking sheet and toast for about 8-10 minutes until lightly golden. Watch carefully so they don't burn. Leave to cool.
  2. Gently heat the sugar with the five-spice, chilli, salt and 1 tbsp water in a small pan until the sugar melts. Don't boil it or you'll end up with a hard lump of toffee.
  3. Toss the cashews thoroughly in the spice glaze while it is still warm. Scoop out nuts with slotted spoon and scatter in a single layer onto baking parchment. Allow to dry completely. Store in airtight container.

    These are SOooo good! I put in chilli powder instead of chilli flakes but used the same quantity which made them VERY spicy!

    I made it with a mixture of nuts (what I had in the cupboard basically ) and felt the recipe could probably take more 5 spice - very easy to do though and would do again.
