One day I was looking around my kitchen and noted that I have a lot of raw nuts and seeds hanging around. I always see cool recipes on Pinterest but never get around to making them so I end up with large bags of pecans, almonds, walnuts and pumpkin seeds.

Anyway, I got this idea that I could roast nuts in some coconut oil and with a slow cooker. So I ended up with these yummy Thai curry low carb nuts! These were delicious and oh so easy in the slow cooker. Best of all you got a big batch of nuts done all at once.

What Kind Of Thai Curry Spices To Use

My favorite Thai curry paste is called Mae Ploy and I buy it in an Asian market in Pittsburgh. It’s a nice size tub of curry paste that’s only a few dollars, tastes wonderful  and it lasts forever. Another brand called  Thai kitchen is usually available at most grocery stores I believe which will work great too.

These pastes have all those delicious Thai flavors you are looking for all you need are a few more ingredients to make these spicy roasted nuts. Below are a few other recipes that I use these spices with so it will come in good use another day.

Other Ingredients For Thai Nuts

Because I wanted this to be a low carb snack, I used Swerve sweetener. However you can use coconut sugar or brown sugar and it would taste great if you don’t care about carbs.

As for the coconut oil, that should be fairly easy to find. I know they carry it at Aldi now! For the nut mixture I used raw pecans, almonds, walnuts, hazelnuts, pumpkin seeds and even a bit of coconut because I had so much surplus. You can use whatever you like.

NOTE: Next time I would keep it just to nuts as the small bits collect with the spices too much.

These low carb nuts are so easy to make in the slow cooker. It’s a great way to make a low carb snack in bulk.

Slow Cooker Nuts Recipe

So essentially you just melt your coconut oil in the slow cooker and whisk it with the Thai curry paste and sweetener. Then you mix in your nuts, coat them well and cook for 1-2 hours on high.

I would check them mid way and stir because as you can see my pecans started to burn a bit but they tasted fine. The nutritional count for ½ cup (using only nuts) is:

514 cals / 48g fat / 14.8g carbs / 9.7g fiber / 11.6 g protein = 5.1g net carbs
