Fall Trail Mix
 
 
Yield: 4-6
Ingredients
  • ¾ cup pepitas
  • 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ⅛ teaspoon allspice
  • 1 cup blanched almonds
  • ½ cup dried orange cranberries, or another tart dried fruit of your choosing, such as dried cherries
  • ⅓ cup semisweet chocolate chips
Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. Toss the pepitas with the vegetable oil then spread evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until the pepitas browned and crisp, about 10-15 minutes, making sure to stir every 5 minutes. Once browned, remove the pepitas from the oven then toss with the sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice. Let the seasoned pumpkin seeds cool.
  3. Toss together the cooled pumpkin seeds, almonds, orange cranberries & chocolate chips.
Notes
You can find dried orange cranberries & pumpkin spiced pepitas at your local Trader Joe's.
