2 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon butter
Add smoked paprika and stir well

Remove from oven and sprinkle with salt. Use a spatula to loosen cashews from sheet and rotate nuts and continue sprinkling with salt.
½ teaspoon salt

Notes
Watch that oven temperature! It's 300°, not 350°F!
The smoked paprika adds a touch of flavor. It may be omitted if desired.
Be certain the nuts are fully covered with the honey glaze. Just keep stirring gently until they are fully coated.
If the honey mixture thickens before you use it, just pop back into the microwave for a few seconds.
When the nuts are finished roasting, give a stir with a spatula or wooden spoon. This helps loosen the nuts from the parchment paper. It also allows you to salt all sides of the nuts.
Use all the salt called for in the recipe. It may seem like a lot, but it's needed to achieve a sweet/salty taste. Some of the salt will remain on the parchment paper and not the nuts.
Add salt while the nuts are still hot.
Once the nuts are fully cool, you may need to break them apart.
