So the thing about Erik is that he remembers EVERYTHING. Like, everything. Except, you know, when there’s something I expect him to remember, but he doesn’t, and then I get all mad like, um, is this not as important as that inane, random detail from 16 years ago that you still remember?

I mean, come on, Erik!! Lol.

Take, for instance, when I asked him just a minute ago, for some ideas on what to write for this Toasted Coconut Cashews recipe post. I was like, I’m fresh out of ideas, man!! Hehe—okay, I don’t really shout “man!!!” at him… but I could.

How these Toasted Coconut Cashews Came To Be…

Anywho, he reminds me of a time, literally over 8 years ago, when I went to New York with my sister Jenny and brought him back coconut cashews.

I was like, “Huh? When did that happen?” and… “Wait, what year was this?”

And he’s all like, “You know, you also brought back coconut balls that you said your mom loves…” and “the weather was a balmy 72 degrees” and “you were wearing those sparkly purple socks with the hole near the pinky toe that you love.”

And… “that was the same day you also tried making coconut cookies and I loved them!!!” See: my chewy paleo coconut cookies!

And I’m like, “Whaaaaa? What day was this?”

I can’t even remember two days ago and this dude is like, “On this day in history, these 9,999 things happened. Shall I list more? Shall I go on?”

So… that’s what it’s like living with a know-it-all, erm, I mean, experiencing the joys of a remembering-wunderkind. 😉 I mean, at least I had something to write for today’s toasted coconut cashews post, amiright?

4 Ingredient Toasted Coconut Cashews Recipe (Paleo, Gluten Free, Vegan)

Today’s recipe can be characterized in so many ways… is it a coconut covered cashews recipe? Or is it more of a coconut roasted cashews situation? Perhaps more of a toasted coconut cashew crunch? Or is that all semantics? 😉

Just—this 4 Ingredient Toasted Coconut Cashew Recipe is amazing in so many ways: it’s super easy to make, prepared & ready to bake in less than 3-5 minutes (depending on your scooping & measuring game lol), and crunchy, practically guilt-free, paleo, gluten-free, dairy-free, and, of course, vegan. You’ll absolutely love it!

How to Make Toasted Coconut Cashews: Paleo Recipe

Making these toasted coconut cashews is super, super easy! It takes less than 5 minutes to prepare. Gather your coconut, cashews and optional salt and toss into a mixing bowl. After stirring that altogether until well mixed, go ahead and add in the coconut sugar and maple syrup. Stir until well coated.

Spread the paleo coconut cashew mix out evenly on the baking sheet. Bake, flip, bake some more. Then cool & enjoy your caramelized, crunchy coconut cashews!

How to Store Paleo Vegan Toasted Coconut Cashews

Store your paleo vegan toasted coconut cashews in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 months. Make sure to keep your coconut cashews out of direct sunlight and make this Paleo Apple Pecan Coconut Crisp. Okay, that last part isn’t necessary, per se. Hehe!

Where can I find more 4 ingredients or Less recipes?
