Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Step 2

Place cashews and vegetable oil on a baking sheet or any oven safe skillet, give a good toss, until oil is thoroughly coated (It might feel like there is more than enough oil, but we need that at the end to help salt and pepper to adhere well). Bake for 18-25 minutes, until golden. Place pan on a wire rack to cool until warm.

Step 3

Add coarsely ground black pepper powder and salt, stir well until coated very well. Let cool completely.

Step 4

Store spicy cashews in a covered container at room temperature for several days.
