Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 50 grams (1.8 ounces) flaked almonds
- 80 grams (2.8 ounces) pumpkin seeds
- 35 grams (1.2 ounces) sesame seeds
Seeds:
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
Sweeteners and Seasonings:
- 2.5 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
- Gather all seed and nut ingredients including flaked almonds, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, and chia seeds in a mixing vessel.
- Sprinkle a delicate pinch of salt over the seed mixture to enhance natural flavors.
- Pour maple syrup into the dry ingredients, stirring thoroughly to ensure each seed and nut fragment becomes evenly glazed and coated.
- Prepare a baking sheet by layering it with parchment paper, creating a non-stick surface for precise roasting.
- Select your preferred shaping technique: use a circular cookie cutter to create uniform rounds by pressing the moistened seed mixture firmly, or alternatively, spoon free-form clusters directly onto the prepared surface.
- Position the baking sheet in a preheated oven calibrated to 180°C (160°C fan) or 350°F, ensuring consistent heat distribution.
- Monitor the seed rounds during roasting, allowing them to transform into a rich golden-brown color over approximately 15 minutes.
- After removing from the oven, resist moving or touching the delicate rounds while they are still warm to prevent crumbling.
- Allow the rounds to cool completely on the baking sheet, during which time they will naturally firm and solidify.
- Once fully cooled and structurally stable, the crunchy nut and seed rounds are ready to be savored and enjoyed.
Notes
- These versatile, nutrient-packed rounds deliver a delightful crunch with minimal ingredients and effort.
- Carefully press the seed mixture tightly into cookie cutters or drop spoonfuls to create rustic, free-form clusters.
- Maple syrup acts as a natural binding agent, giving these rounds a subtle sweetness and helping seeds stick together.
- Watch closely during baking to prevent burning, as seeds can quickly transition from golden to overdone.
- Let rounds cool completely on the baking sheet to ensure they set and maintain their crisp texture.
- Store in an airtight container for up to a week, making them perfect for quick snacking or adding crunch to salads and yogurt.
