This was really good! I put them on raw, unsalted cashews (1 cup) and used cayenne pepper instead of piri piri. <br/>here's how; <br/>1.Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.<br/>2.Place a baking sheet into the preheated oven for 5 minutes. Spread the nuts on the pan.<br/>3.Combine the rest of the ingredients, except the water, in an ovenproof bowl.<br/>4.Sprinkle half the spice mixture over the nuts on the pan. Put in oven and toast for 7 to 10 minutes until the nuts are golden brown.<br/>5.Remove the nuts from the oven and put them in the bowl with the other half of the spice mixture.<br/>6.Drizzle the water over the nuts and toss. Mix until spices are evenly coated and adhering to the nuts.<br/>7.Place bowl of nuts on baking sheet and put back into the oven. Roast until the nuts are dry but not burnt.<br/>8.Cool and separate. Place in a sealed container to store.<br/>9.Makes 1 cup.<br/>These were REALLY REALLY GOOD!! My family ate them in a day.
