Roasted Cashews with Maple Syrup and Sesame Seeds

Ingredients
2 cups raw cashews
4 Tbsp sesame seeds (mixture of white and black)
Few sprinkles sea salt
1/2 cup maple syrup 
 
Place the raw cashews, maple syrup in a bowl. After that, take the black and white sesame seeds and sprinkle them into the bowl as well. Then, mix the ingredients in the bowl and make sure that each cashew is fully coated with a decent amount of sesame seeds. Place a piece of parchment paper on a sheet pan and spread the cashews on the pan so they are not on top of one another. Once they are on the pan you may add more sesame seeds if you wish. Put the pan of cashews in the oven at 350 degrees until they look toasted. Toss the cashews around and bake for for a few more minutes. Once the cashews are out of the oven, sprinkle on a little bit of sea salt and let cool.
