Description
A delicious mix of nuts and seeds, lightly sweetened with maple syrup and infused with spices.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups mix of nuts and seeds: pumpkin seeds, walnuts, pecans, hazelnuts, cashews, sunflower seeds or pistachios
- 1–2 tablespoons chia seeds (optional)
- 5 tablespoons real maple syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F (a toaster oven works here too).
- In a small bowl, toss the nuts/seeds with the maple syrup, enough to coat well, and mix in the salt and spices.
- Spread out on a parchment-lined sheet pan and bake for 13-15 minutes, stirring halfway through.
- You want to get them toasted and generously golden, so the maple syrup hardens after cooling.
- Remove from heat, and immediately fluff with a fork. Let them cool completely.
- Once cooled they should be brittle enough to break apart. If they are soft, tacky, or sticky, they needed longer in the oven—feel free to put them back in the oven and bake a little longer.
Notes
- Store in an airtight container after completely cooling.
- These make a great snack or topping for salads.
