Ingredients
- 1 cup almonds
- 1 cup walnuts
- 1 cup cashews
- 1 cup dried cranberries
- 1 cup dried apricots, chopped
- 1/2 cup pumpkin seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
How to Make
To make your Beach Snacks Portable Nut Mixes, start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine the almonds, walnuts, cashews, pumpkin seeds, dried cranberries, and chopped apricots. If you like a hint of spice, sprinkle in the cinnamon and sea salt; toss everything until evenly coated. Spread the mixture evenly on a baking sheet and roast for about 10-15 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting. Once golden and fragrant, let it cool completely. Then, transfer your nut mix to portable snack bags or containers, and you’re ready to hit the beach!
Tips
- For extra flavor, try adding a splash of vanilla extract before baking.
- Experiment with different nuts and dried fruits based on your preferences.
- A touch of honey or maple syrup can create a sweeter mix if desired.
Make-Ahead
This nut mix can be prepared up to a week ahead of your beach trip. Simply store it in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
Storing
Keep your nut mix stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks for optimal freshness.
Freezing
You can freeze your nut mix for up to three months. Just remember to portion it into smaller bags before freezing for easier access!
Reheating
The nut mix is great cold as a snack, so there’s no need for reheating. Simply grab a serving on your way to the beach!
