Prepare: @extra virgin olive oil{2%tbsp}, @panko breadcrumbs{0.67%cup}, @raw cashews{0.5%cup}(finely chopped; see Note), @red pepper flakes for a kick; omit for mild{0.25%tsp}, @flaky sea salt{0.25%tsp}.

Add the oil to a large frying pan over medium heat and allow to warm. Add the panko and chopped cashews and stir occasionally for ~{4-6%minutes}, until the nuts and panko are starting to turn golden brown.

Add red pepper flakes and salt and cook for ~{30%seconds}, stirring very frequently. Take off the heat and immediately transfer to a bowl or plate to stop cooking. Once cool, store in a labeled jar or airtight container in the pantry for a few weeks.

> If you have pine nuts, use those instead of cashews (or a mix) because they are so good here!
