Slow Cooker Spiced Nut Mix

The easiest and best way to roast your nuts without worrying about over-cooking them is in a slow cooker. Many times I have left nuts and seeds in for 30 to 60 seconds too long and burnt them. It’s the worst! On a low temperature, the nut mix can cook and roast with any seasoning that you desire for an on-the-go snack or to be sprinkled over main meals, salads and other plant-based meals to give a healthy protein, fat and fiber boost.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons of coconut oil
  • 3 cups nuts (I used brazil, cashew, almonds, macadamia)
  • 2 cups seeds (I used ½ cup of flaxseeds, 1 cup of pumpkin, ½ cup of sunflower seeds)
  • 2 tablespoons tamari sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin powder
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1 teaspoon coriander powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • ½-1 cup of sultanas or raisins (optional)
