Ingredients

1 tablespoon avocado oil or other neutral-flavored oil
optional: 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard or honey (do not use honey for vegan or Whole30 version)
2 cups raw cashews whole pieces and halves, no small bits
2½ tablespoons everything bagel seasoning

Instructions

Heat the oven to 350℉.
Add the oil to a medium mixing bowl. If using mustard or honey, add them now and whisk until fully combined with the oil.
Add the cashews and stir until evenly coated.
Add half of the everything bagel seasoning and toss to coat. Add the rest of the seasoning and toss to coat again (adding it in two separate rounds ensures the cashews are evenly coated). Spread out the cashews evenly on the baking sheet.
Bake the cashews for 11-14 minutes, rotating the pan once halfway through. (Twelve minutes is perfect with my oven, but each oven is different. Start keeping an eye on them around the 11-12 minute mark to make sure they don't start to burn.)
Let cool and then dig in! (Keep in mind that the more you handle them and transfer them to different bowls/containers, the more the seasoning will fall off.)

Notes

Nutrition note: Nutritional info does not include mustard or honey.

Substitutions

With so few ingredients, there aren't a lot of substitution options.

You could try using a different nut, like almonds, walnuts or pecans, but they're all different sizes to the amount you need would differ.

If you want to try almonds, use 1 3/4 cup. If you want to try pecans or walnuts, try 2 heaping cups.

You can use extra virgin olive oil in place of the avocado oil. It'll add its own subtle flavor that works well with the everything bagel seasoning.

Make ahead

You can store these in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

Freezer instructions

To freeze them, line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the roasted, cooled nuts in a single layer on the parchment and freeze. Once they’re frozen, add them to a freezer-safe container or baggie and freeze up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge.
