Ingredients
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds
- 2 tablespoons pumpkin seeds
- 2 tablespoons sunflower seeds
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, mix together pecans, almonds, pumpkin seeds, and sunflower seeds.
- In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add brown sugar and salt, stirring until sugar dissolves.
- Pour the butter mixture over the nut and seed mixture and toss to coat evenly.
- Spread the mixture in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 6-8 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden and fragrant.
- Let cool completely on the baking sheet; it will crisp up as it cools.
- Break into small clusters and store in an airtight container.
Tips
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
- Sprinkle generously over vanilla, chocolate, or caramel ice cream.
- For a savory twist, omit brown sugar and add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
