Ingredients:
- 1.5 cups (210g) raw whole almonds
- 1 cup (150g) raw cashew halves
- 0.5 cup (65g) raw pepitas
- 0.5 cup (60g) pecan halves
- 1 cup (150g) premium golden raisins
- 0.5 cup (75g) dried apricots, chopped
- 0.25 cup (30g) unsweetened coconut chips
- 0.5 cup (90g) dark chocolate chunks, 70% cacao
- 1 tbsp (15ml) melted coconut oil
- 1 tsp (6g) flaky sea salt
- 0.5 tsp (1g) ground cinnamon
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Note: A consistent temperature is vital for even browning.
- Combine the raw almonds, cashews, pepitas, and pecans in a large mixing bowl.
- Drizzle the 15ml of melted coconut oil over the nut mixture. Note: Use your hands to toss; it's the only way to ensure every nook is coated.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon and half of the sea salt over the wet nuts and toss again.
- Spread the mixture onto a large rimmed baking sheet in a single, even layer. Roast for 10 minutes until the cashews are golden and the pecans smell intensely fragrant.
- Remove the tray from the oven and immediately sprinkle the remaining sea salt and the coconut chips over the hot nuts.
- Cool the tray completely on a wire rack. Wait until the tray is cold to the touch before proceeding.
- Chop the dried apricots into pieces roughly the size of the raisins.
- Fold the golden raisins, chopped apricots, and dark chocolate chunks into the cooled nut mixture.
- Transfer to an airtight glass jar for storage.
