Method

  1. 1

    Preheat. Set the oven to 150 °C (130 °C fan) with the shelf in the middle and line a large rimmed baking tray with baking paper.

  2. 2

    Syrup. In a large bowl, whisk 80 ml maple syrup, 60 g tahini (well stirred before use), 3 tbsp white miso, 3 tsp vanilla and ½ tsp ground cinnamon until completely smooth.

  3. 3

    Fold. Add 140 g raw unsalted sunflower seeds, 140 g raw unsalted pumpkin seeds, 125 g shelled pistachios, 60 g unsweetened coconut flakes and 70 g sesame seeds, folding gently until everything is evenly coated.

  4. 4

    Spread. Turn the mixture onto the lined tray in a thin layer, then bake for 35-40 min, stirring every 10 min, until deep golden brown.

  5. 5

    Cool. Take out and let cool completely on the tray on a rack, which helps it crisp, then break into bite-sized pieces.

  6. 6

    Store. Keep in an airtight container.

Storage

Store in an airtight container for up to 3 weeks.
