Holiday Spiced-Nut Mix
Ingredients
- ½ cup almonds (raw or soaked and dehydrated)
- ½ cup walnuts (raw or soaked and dehydrated)
- cup pepitas (raw or soaked and dehydrated)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon or allspice
- 1 heaping tablespoon goji berries
Method
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 300F.
Step 2
Combine nuts and seeds in a small bowl.
Step 3
In a small saucepan, add the maple syrup and coconut oil. Whisk the maple syrup and oil over medium-low heat for about 30 seconds until coconut oil is melted; remove from heat.
Step 4
Mix in the salt, spices, and chia seeds; stir until fully combined.
Step 5
Pour the nuts and seed mixture into the saucepan; using a rubber spatula to scrape up all the syrup and oil, combine the mixture until fully coated and evenly distributed.
Step 6
Line a baking pan with parchment or Silpat; pour the mixture out on the pan and distribute in one even layer (you will not need the entire width of the pan).
Step 7
Roast in the oven for 10 minutes. Stir, and roast another 7 to 8 minutes.
