Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 cup whole raw cashews, 4.5 ounces
  • 1/2 cup raw pumpkin seeds, 2.5 ounces
  • 1 cup raw pecan halves, 4 ounces
  • 1 cup salted plantain chips, 2 ounces
  • 1 Tablespoon + 1 Teaspoon granulated dried onion
  • 2 Teaspoons dried garlic powder
  • 1 Tablespoon dried dill
  • 1 Teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 Teaspoon sea salt, or to taste
  • 1/2 Teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 Teaspoon dried chives, optional
  • 1 Tablespoon avocado oil
  • 2 Tablespoons maple syrup, I used Grade A amber

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 250ºF, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Mix together the cashews, pumpkin seeds, pecans, and plantain chips on the baking sheet.
  • In a small bowl, mix together all the spices.
  • Pour the spices over the nut/seed mixture along with the avocado oil and maple syrup.
  • Toss to completely combine and evenly distribute the spices.
  • Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 1 hour, stirring three times throughout the cooking process. When the cooking time is finished, turn the oven off, open the door and stir the trail mix one more time. Close the oven door, and let the trail mix cool with the oven for 30 minutes. This helps it to remain ultra crispy.
  • Then cool the trail mix to room temperature before storing it in an airtight container.
