Five-Spice Nuts with Soy Sauce and Sesame
8
Steps
- Preheat oven to 325°. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat and cook star anise pods, cinnamon stick, peppercorns, and fennel seeds, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and add brown sugar, soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, cloves, and 1 Tbsp. water, stirring to dissolve sugar. Add cashews and toss to coat.
- Spread mixture in an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet and sprinkle with black sesame seeds. Bake, tossing once, until nuts are golden brown and no longer sticky, 15–25 minutes.
