Ingredients
  

2 cups mixed nuts (a blend of almonds, cashews, pecans, and walnuts)

1 cup pumpkin seeds (pepitas)

1/2 cup sunflower seeds

1/4 cup unsweetened coconut flakes

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for a spicy kick)

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for a hint of sweetness)

1/4 cup dried cranberries or raisins (for additional sweetness)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a large baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

    Combine Nuts and Seeds: In a large mixing bowl, add the mixed nuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and coconut flakes. Stir gently to combine, ensuring that the nuts and seeds are evenly distributed throughout.

      Prepare the Seasoning Blend: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, maple syrup (or honey), smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, cayenne pepper (if using), and ground cinnamon. Mix well until all the ingredients are fully combined into a smooth and flavorful dressing.

        Mix the Coating: Drizzle the prepared seasoning mixture over the nut and seed blend. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to stir thoroughly, making sure every nut and seed is coated with the seasoning for maximum flavor.

          Spread on Baking Sheet: Pour the seasoned nut and seed mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Spread it out into a single, even layer, avoiding any clumps. This will help achieve a uniform roast.

            Roast to Perfection: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the mix for 15-20 minutes. Stir the mixture once halfway through to promote even cooking. Keep a close eye on the nuts and seeds; they can brown quickly!

              Incorporate Dried Fruit: When the nut and seed mix is golden brown and aromatic, remove it from the oven. Allow it to cool for about 5 minutes on the baking sheet, then toss in the dried cranberries or raisins, which will add a delightful sweetness.

                Cool and Store: Let the mix cool completely on the baking sheet before transferring it to an airtight container. This cooling period ensures that the snack mix retains its crunchiness.

                  Enjoy!: Your Crunchy Roasted Nut Snack Mix is now ready to be devoured! It's a perfect snack for any occasion—whether you're enjoying it at home, taking it to a party, or packing it for an on-the-go energy boost.
