RUBY CRUNCH SNACK MIX
PREP TIME: 5 MINS / TOTAL TIME: 30 MINS
Ingredients
3 cups mixed nuts and seeds*
1 heaping TBS Ruby Crunch
1 heaping TBS honey
Big pinch of salt
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 225°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat.
2. In a large bowl, add the Ruby Crunch and honey, and mix until combined.
3. Add the nuts and seeds and mix until everything is evenly coated.
4. Spread the mixture in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not crowded, so they roast evenly and develop a crispy texture.
5. Sprinkle with salt.
6. Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes until they are toasted and some are slightly golden brown. Pull them out and give them a stir a few times.
7. Let the mixture cool completely on baking sheet. As they cool, the coating will set up and harden.
8. Transfer to an airtight container and store at room temperature for up to two weeks.
Note: Ruby Crunch can be heated at low temperatures. We recommend heating Ruby Crunch at temperatures no greater than 250°F in the oven. If using in a sauce, such as in a sauté pan, add Ruby Crunch at the end. This is because the garlic in Ruby Crunch is already cooked and is susceptible to burning if heated at higher temperatures.
* Here we used 2 cups raw cashews, 1/2 cup raw pumpkin seeds and 1/2 cup raw sunflower seeds
