Ingredients:
- 1.5 cups (150g) raw pumpkin seeds
- 1 cup (120g) raw sunflower seeds
- 0.5 cup (70g) raw sesame seeds
- 0.25 cup (30g) raw flax seeds
- 2 tbsp (30ml) extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp (15ml) maple syrup
- 1 tsp (2g) smoked paprika
- 1 tsp (2g) chili powder
- 0.5 tsp (1g) garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp (1g) cayenne pepper
- 0.5 tsp (3g) sea salt
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the raw pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, and flax seeds.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil and maple syrup until emulsified.
- Stir the smoked paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, and sea salt into the oil mixture until a smooth paste forms.
- Pour the spice mixture over the seeds and toss with a silicone spatula until every seed is evenly coated.
- Spread the seeds in a single, even layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, stirring the seeds halfway through, until they are deep golden-brown and smell intensely nutty.
- Remove from the oven and let the seeds cool completely on the pan before storing in an airtight glass jar.
