Preparation
Step 1
Heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Spread the nuts on a baking sheet and toast for about 8-10 minutes until lightly golden. Watch carefully so they don't burn. Leave to cool.
Gently heat the sugar with the five-spice, chili, salt and 1 tbsp. water in a small pan until the sugar melts. Don't boil it or you'll end up with a hard lump of toffee.
Toss the cashews thoroughly in the spice glaze while it is still warm. Scoop out nuts with slotted spoon and scatter in a single layer onto baking parchment. Allow to dry completely. Store in airtight container.
