Ingredients

• 1 cup pumpkin seeds
• 1 cup sunflower seeds
• 0.25 cup sesame seeds
• 2 tablespoons chia seeds
• 2 tablespoons flaxseeds
• 0.5 cup rolled oats
• 1 egg white
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1.5 tablespoons honey
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon paprika

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, chia seeds, flaxseeds, and rolled oats.

Step 3

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the egg white, olive oil, and honey until well combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet mixture over the seed mixture and stir thoroughly to coat all the seeds and oats evenly.

Step 5

Sprinkle in the sea salt, ground black pepper, and paprika. Mix again to distribute the seasoning.

Step 6

Using a tablespoon or your hands, shape the mixture into small mounds (around a tablespoon each) and place them onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them an inch apart.

Step 7

Gently press down on each mound to compact them slightly, helping them hold together during baking.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and crisp.

Step 9

Allow the little heaps of seeds to cool completely on the baking sheet, as they will firm up as they cool.

Step 10

Transfer to an airtight container for storage. Enjoy as a snack or crunchy topping!
