Slow Cooker Spiced Cashews

This year I’ve really been trying to add more side dishes and appetizers into our rotation. So today, I’m sharing a simple way to make spiced cashews! Take your plain cashews and turn them into a dish to be talked about! They will take your charcuterie board to the next level.  They also make great gifts! Pour them into a mason jar, add a label and they are ready to gift for the holidays.

To make a batch of these Spiced Cashews you will need the following –

3 C Cashews, lightly salted
1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/2 tsp Ground Cumin
1/2 tsp Powdered Garlic
1/2 tsp Cayenne Pepper
1/2 tsp Smoked Paprika
1/2 tsp Kosher Salt, optional

Pour the cashews into the slow cooker.

Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil over the cashew and stir it until the cashews have a little coating.

In a small bowl, combine the cumin, garlic, Cayenne pepper, smoked paprika and salt (if you are using it). Stir until well combined.

Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the cashews and stir until the cashews are coated.

Set your slow cooker to low and cook for 1 hour.

Once the hour is up, remove the cover and let it cook for another 15 minutes.

Unplug the slow cooker and let them cool.

Once cool store in an air-tight container.

I stored ours in mason jars. Then when we go somewhere this holiday season I can grab a jar and bring it with us.
