Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 5 cups raw mixed nuts (make sure to use some already chopped/halves and some whole).
  • 1 cup pumpkin seeds
  • 2 Tablespoons butter or coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup coconut sugar
  • 1/2 Tablespoon Red Curry Powder

  1. Place nuts and seeds in a slow cooker. In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the melted butter or coconut oil, tamari/soy sauce, sugar, and spices, and then pour over the nuts. Mix everything until thoroughly combined.
