- Drizzle this mixture over the crock pot ingredients. Toss thoroughly until all the ingredients are coated.
- Cover and cook on low for 3 hours, stirring every 30-60 minutes so that the mixture does not burn.

- Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 3 weeks.
Notes
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2–3 weeks. Make sure it’s completely cooled before storing to avoid moisture buildup.
Be sure to stir every 30–60 minutes while cooking. This helps prevent burning on the edges and ensures all the pieces get evenly coated and toasted.
Some crockpots run hotter than others. If you notice browning too quickly, stir more frequently or slightly prop the lid open.
