Spiced Nuts and Seed Mix

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup almonds, 3/4 cup walnuts, 1/2 cup pecans, 1/3 cup pumpkin seeds, and 1/4 cup sunflower seeds.

In a small bowl, whisk together 1 egg white and 1 tablespoon water until frothy (about 2 minutes).

In another small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons erythritol or monk fruit sweetener, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom, 1/2 teaspoon sea salt, and 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper.

Pour the egg white mixture over the nuts and seeds, and toss until everything is evenly coated.

Add 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1 tablespoon olive oil to the nut mixture and toss again to coat evenly.

Sprinkle the spice mixture over the nuts and seeds, and toss until everything is well coated.

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

Bake for 15 minutes, then remove from the oven and stir the mixture.

Return to the oven and bake for another 15 minutes.

Sprinkle 2 tablespoons flaxseeds and 1 tablespoon chia seeds over the mixture, stir gently, and bake for a final 15 minutes until the nuts are golden brown and fragrant.

Remove from the oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet (about 30 minutes). The mixture will crisp up as it cools.

Once cooled, break up any clumps and store in an airtight container.
