You can substitute almonds, pecans, macadamia nuts, or sunflower seeds for cashews in most recipes. Choose based on texture, flavor, and whether the recipe requires creamy or crunchy nuts.
Cashews are used in trail mixes, roasted snacks, desserts, chocolate-covered treats, stir-fries, nut butters, vegan sauces, and baked goods. They add richness, creaminess, and crunch to many dishes.
To cook cashews quickly, toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat for 5–7 minutes, stirring frequently until lightly golden. Alternatively, roast in the oven at 350°F for 8–10 minutes.
Cashews pair well with chocolate, coconut, honey, spices, vegetables, rice, and stir-fry sauces. They complement both sweet and savory dishes with their buttery, nutty flavor.
