Ingredients
  

1 cup raw almonds

1 cup raw cashews

1 cup raw walnuts

1 cup pumpkin seeds (pepitas)

1/2 cup sunflower seeds

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey (for a vegan option, use maple syrup)

1 teaspoon sea salt

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste for spice)

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

1/2 cup dried cranberries or raisins (for a sweet contrast)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the nuts from sticking.

    Mix the Nuts and Seeds: In a large mixing bowl, combine the raw almonds, cashews, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, and sunflower seeds.

      Prepare the Coating: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, maple syrup, sea salt, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, and cinnamon (if using). This will be the flavorful coating for your nuts.

        Combine Ingredients: Pour the oil mixture over the nuts and seeds in the large bowl. Stir well to ensure that all the nuts and seeds are evenly coated with the savory mixture.

          Spread on Baking Sheet: Transfer the mixed nuts and seeds to the prepared baking sheet, spreading them out into an even layer.

            Roast the Mixture: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even browning. Keep an eye on them, as nuts can burn quickly.

              Cool and Add Dried Fruit: Once they are golden and fragrant, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet. After they cool, mix in the dried cranberries or raisins for a sweet touch.

                Store and Enjoy: Once completely cooled, transfer your Crunchy Roasted Nut Snack Mix to an airtight container. It can be stored at room temperature for up to two weeks (if it lasts that long!).
