PREP TIME: 5 minutes | TOTAL TIME: 30 minutes
Ingredients
· 3 cups mixed nuts and seeds*
· 1 heaping tablespoon Ruby Crunch Chili Crisp
· 1 heaping tablespoon honey (or other sweetener)
· 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.
* Here we used 2 cups raw cashews, 1/2 cup raw pumpkin seeds, and 1/2 cup raw sunflower seeds
Try experimenting with add-ins such as dried fruit or a big pinch of cinnamon.
