Steps
Preheat oven to 300F.
Spread the cashews out on a lined baking sheet and roast for 15 – 20 minutes until fragrant and just starting to get that toasty golden color.
Transfer the cashews to a large bowl and add the toasted sesame seeds.
While the cashews are roasting, place the coconut sugar, butter, agave nectar in a small pot over low heat. Make sure not to set the heat too high because the coconut sugar burns easily (I’ve made this mistake!).
Whisk constantly until the ingredients form a caramel-like consistency, about 5 minutes.
Pour the melty caramel into the bowl over the cashews and sesame seeds.
Use a rubber spatula to mix until they’re combined and coated.
Transfer the coated cashews out again on the baking sheet lined with parchment paper and sprinkle with your favorite flakey salt. I like to keep the cashews close together so when I break them up later on, I’ll get some chunky clusters.
Allow the cashews to cool completely on the baking sheet before breaking them up and transferring to a jar for storage.

Shan on 2020-07-10 (5 stars): This is a wonderful recipe. Easy to follow and it turned out delicious! I made this recipe last night substituting “everything” seasoning for the sunflower seeds and salt. I also added some almonds because, why not, right? Anyway, thank you so much! I was worried the agave sweetness wouldn’t be quite what I wanted. I was wrong! It’s great!! I had never roasted nuts before, thank you again for making this recipe available. 12/10 would make again.
