Oven space is always at a premium around the holidays, and these slow-cooker spiced nuts won't claim any of it. They're so good and so easy, though, that you'll want to use this method all year round.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 4h5m

Yield 4 cups

Cooking spray
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons finely grated orange zest
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 cups raw pecans
2 cups unsalted roasted cashews

Steps:

  • Line the insert of a 6-quart slow cooker with heavy-duty foil, and spray with cooking spray.
  • Whisk together the maple syrup, butter, cinnamon, orange zest, salt and cayenne in a large bowl. Add the pecans and cashews, and toss to coat. Add the nuts to the slow cooker in an even layer, cover and turn the heat to high. Cook until a light syrup forms at the bottom, 1 hour.
