  1. 01Toss with oil and seasoning.
  2. 02Ready for the air fryer. Shake frequently. Cashews burn faster than almonds because of their higher sugar content.
Cashews go from golden to burnt in about 90 seconds. Check them a minute before the food page says to. Their higher natural sugar means they caramelize (good) and then burn (bad) faster than any other nut.
