Smoke two pounds of cashews low and slow, spray with oil, toss with Casa M spice until they crack between your teeth

Ingredients

For the Nuts

  • 2 lb unsalted cashews
  • avocado oil spray
  • 1-2 Tablespoons Casa M Spice Co® Chain Reaction®, Kickstart®, or Jerked Chain® (or your favorite Casa M Spice Co® flavor)

Method

  1. 01

    Set up your heat sources

    10 min

    Preheat your smoker to 160°F if you're going the smoke route—it's optional, but worth it for depth. Either way, get your convection oven ready at 350°F.

  2. 02

    Spread cashews on the pan

    2 min

    Lay them out in a single layer on a sheet pan so heat reaches every nut evenly.

  3. 03

    Smoke the cashews (optional)

    60 min

    Low smoke at 160°F for an hour gives these nuts a subtle backbone without overpowering them. Skip this if you're short on time—you'll still get great results with just the oven.

  4. 04

    Light spray of oil and toast

    7 min

    A whisper of avocado oil—and I mean whisper—helps the spice stick and gets the cashews shimmering. Five to ten minutes in the convection oven, then pull them out the moment they start to glisten so they don't dry out.

  5. 05

    Transfer to bowl immediately

    1 min

    Get them off that hot pan right away or carryover heat will keep cooking them. You want them to crack between your teeth, not turn to powder.

  6. 06

    Season and coat

    3 min

    Sprinkle your chosen Casa M spice blend over the hot cashews and stir to coat evenly. Taste and hit them again if you want more flavor—build it to where you like it.

  7. 07

    Cool completely

    15 min

    Let them sit at room temperature so they firm up and the spice sets. Patience here pays off—they'll have better texture and the flavors will meld.

  8. 08

    Serve

    Crack into them and enjoy. These keep in an airtight container for days if you don't demolish them first.

From Mike's Notebook

01

Spray cashews lightly before smoking—too much oil pools and steams them instead of crisping.

02

Pull them off heat the moment they glisten; they'll keep toasting from residual heat and burn fast.

03

Use unsalted cashews so the spice blend seasons them evenly without harsh salt spots.
