Ingredients
- 2x 400g cans chickpeas, rinsed and drained
- 1/3 cup walnuts, roughly chopped
- 1/3 cup pecans, roughly chopped
- 1/2 cup whole almonds
- 1/2 cup whole cashews
- 1/4 cup sunflower seeds
- 1/4 cup pepitas
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
- 1 tsp sweet smoked paprika
- 1 tsp ground chipotle (or chilli powder)

- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 2 tbsp olive oil

Method
- Preheat the oven to 180C
- Line two large baking trays with baking paper.
- In a medium sized mixing bowl, combine the nuts, seeds and the drained chickpeas.
- Sprinkle the dry spices and salt over the nuts, and toss to coat.
- Drizzle the nut mix with the maple syrup and olive oil and toss again to ensure all of the ingredients are well coated.
- Spread the mixture out over the prepared baking trays and place in the oven to roast for 25-30 minutes, ensuring you stir the nuts every 10 minutes to ensure they roast evenly.
