Maple Roasted Cashew Trail Mix (Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Paleo)

  • Author: Alexa

Ingredients

Scale

2 1/2 cups raw cashews (not roasted or salted)

1/2 cup maple syrup

1 tsp sea salt

1/2 cup dairy free chocolate chips OR your favorite dark chocolate chips/broken up dark chocolate bar

1/2 cup dried cranberries

1/2 cup pumpkin seeds

Optional: 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut or coconut chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F and line a baking sheet with unbleached parchment paper.
  2. Place your cashews on the tray and drizzle over maple syrup and sea salt. Use a spoon or spatula to mix well and spread out (this can be done in a bowl first if you prefer).
  3. Roast for 7 minutes, flip, then roast for another 7 minutes. Take out sooner if the nuts are starting to burn.
  4. While the cashews are roasting, combine the rest of the ingredients in a container or bowl. Wait to add the cashews until they are completely cooled so that the chocolate doesn’t melt.
  5. Store in a covered container or large mason jar. Keep in the refrigerator if it is hot out or to keep fresher longer, although it keeps fine on the counter covered.
