These Spicy Slow Cooker Almonds are a delicious addition to your salads and also make a great snack! This slow cooker snack recipe is one you will love!
Of all the foods I would be lost without, I’d have to say nuts would be at the top of my list. (Wine and coffee don’t count as foods, right?)
They make near-daily appearances in my salads and are also my go-to snack.
I often buy my nuts raw, and I’m quite happy to eat them this way. However, being a salty girl, I enjoy them much more when they are seasoned.
The problem is that most commercially prepared nuts have ingredients in them that are questionable.
Lately, I’ve been playing around with various nut seasonings, and it has become a regular thing around our house. It is so simple to do in the slow cooker, and I love that I’m saving money AND in control of every ingredient that goes into them.
These Spicy Slow Cooker Almonds make a great snack. They are the kind of thing you want to have on hand when you are entertaining or during the holidays when guests arrive. I always feel so on the ball when I have homemade snacks like this. (No one needs to know you spent all of 5 minutes on them!)
By the way, if you are looking to make a salad special this is a great way to accomplish that! I especially like these with a soft cheese like goat cheese and a little sweetness from fresh or dried fruit.

I think I must try some slow cooker nuts!
I love just about any slow cooker recipe. Who would’ve thought to put nuts in there? Genius and perfect for the busy holidays.
I ALWAYS burn nuts in the oven. But this is genius! I can do this. In fact I can’t wait to do this.
yay for the slow cooker! I’ve not done this and often crave seasoned nuts in the summer–perfect! Thanks!
