LET’S GET COOKING

• 1.

  Preheat smoker to 160°F and while you're smoking preheat the oven to 350°F. The smoke step is entirely optional. If you skip it, just preheat the oven.

• 2.

  Spread cashews on sheet pan.

• 3.

  If you're smoking, smoke for 60 minutes, then remove to the preheated oven.

• 4.

  Heat for 5 minutes or until natural oils are coming to the surface of the cashews, then pull out of the oven and remove them from the cookie sheet immediately (so they don't continue to cook).

• 5.

  While hot, pour into large bowl.

• 6.

  Spray lightly with oil, then sprinkle some of the Kickstart on the cashews. Repeat this process until the cashews are coated to desired taste.

• 7.

  Let cool, then serve.
