Ingredients

2 cups raw almonds *
2 cups raw cashews *
1 cup raw pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
2 tbsp avocado oil
1.5 tbsp honey or maple syrup
1 tsp kosher salt
½ tsp chili powder
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp onion powder
½ tsp paprika
cayenne optional, to taste
10 meat sticks cut into bite-sized pieces**

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 325F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
In a large bowl, add almonds, cashews, pumpkin seeds, avocado oil, honey and seasonings. Stir with a spatula until all the nuts and seeds are coated.
2 cups raw almonds, 2 cups raw cashews, 1 cup raw pumpkin seeds, 2 tbsp avocado oil, 1.5 tbsp honey, ½ tsp chili powder, ½ tsp garlic powder, ½ tsp onion powder, ½ tsp paprika, cayenne, 1 tsp kosher salt
Spread nut and seed mixture evenly out onto prepared baking sheet. Transfer to the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes total - stirring after the first 10 minutes, and then stirring again after the second 10 minutes. The nuts should be lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool down on the baking sheet - this will likely take 20-30 minutes.
Once cooled, break apart any large chunks. Then, add in the chopped meat sticks and toss to combine. Transfer the trail mix to an airtight container and store in your pantry for up to 2 weeks!

Notes

*NOTE: Feel free to use any mix of nuts you prefer - walnuts and pecans would be great in here too. Just make sure that they're raw (not roasted & salted) and that you have about 4 cups in total.

**NOTE: I used a mix of turkey and beef sticks from VT Smoke & Cure. My discount code, MADDIE will get you 15% off your order.
