Ingredients

• 1 cup almonds
• 1 cup cashews
• 1 cup pecans
• 0.5 cup pumpkin seeds
• 0.5 cup sunflower seeds
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon honey (optional for a sweet-spicy flavor)
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the almonds, cashews, pecans, pumpkin seeds, and sunflower seeds.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, honey (if using), smoked paprika, ground cumin, chili powder, cayenne pepper, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper until well blended.

Step 4

Pour the spice mixture over the nuts and seeds, and toss to evenly coat everything.

Step 5

Spread the mixture in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 6

Bake for 12-15 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even roasting. Keep an eye on the mixture to avoid burning.

Step 7

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the nuts and seeds cool completely. The mixture will crisp up as it cools.

Step 8

Once cooled, transfer the spicy mixed nuts and seeds to an airtight container or jar for storage. They can be kept at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
