Pumpkin Seed Trail Mix

Servings: 4 cups

Ingredients

  • 1 cup hulled raw sunflower seeds
  • 1 cup hulled raw pumpkin seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon sunflower oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 teaspoons New Mexico red chile powder , mild
  • 3/4 cup dried tart cherries
  • 3/4 cup dried apricots , quartered
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, toss together the sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower oil, and kosher salt. In a large cast-iron or heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat, toast the seeds until they are golden brown and crispy (about 15 minutes), stirring frequently to ensure they cook evenly and don’t burn.
