Nonstick cooking spray
2 cups unsalted cashews
¼ cup pure maple syrup (preferably Grade B)
1½ teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
½ teaspoon ground ancho chili or cayenne pepper
Heat oven to 350º. Spray sheet of foil with cooking spray and set aside. Lightly spray rimmed baking sheet.
In a medium bowl, mix together maple syrup, cumin, salt and ancho pepper. Add cashews and toss to coat. Arrange in a single layer on baking sheet.
Bake for about 20 minutes, until cashews are golden brown and fully coated with maple syrup mixture, stirring occasionally. Immediately pour cashews onto prepared foil and separate any clumps with two forks.
Cool completely and store in an airtight container for up to three days.
