Ingredients
Scale
- 50 g (1.8 oz) flaked almonds
- 80 g (2.8 oz) pumpkin seeds
- 35 g (1.2 oz) sesame seeds
- 2 tbsps chia seeds
- 2.5 tbsps maple syrup
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
- Preparation: Combine flaked almonds, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, and chia seeds in a mixing bowl, then sprinkle with a pinch of salt to amplify natural flavors.
- Binding: Drizzle maple syrup over the seed mixture, stirring meticulously to ensure each seed and nut fragment becomes uniformly glazed and coated.
- Shaping: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, then craft uniform rounds using a circular cookie cutter or create free-form clusters by spooning the moistened seed mixture directly onto the prepared surface.
- Roasting: Position the baking sheet in an oven preheated to 180°C (160°C fan) or 350°F, allowing the rounds to transform into a rich golden-brown color for approximately 15 minutes.
- Cooling: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the rounds cool completely without disturbance, enabling them to naturally firm and solidify into crunchy, delectable treats.
Notes
- Measure Seeds Precisely: Use exact measurements to maintain perfect balance of nuts and seeds, ensuring consistent crunch and flavor in every bite.
- Control Syrup Distribution: Stir maple syrup thoroughly to coat each seed evenly, preventing dry patches and creating uniform caramelization.
- Watch Baking Time Carefully: Keep a close eye during roasting to prevent burning; golden-brown color indicates perfect doneness and optimal crispness.
- Cool Without Disruption: Let rounds set completely on baking sheet without moving, allowing natural cooling process to develop structural integrity and maximum crunchiness.
