Smoky-Sweet Trail Mix

Planning a hiking trip can be difficult for those who are gluten-free.

Going on a trip that is a few days long? No problem! Pack non-perishable items that are ready-to-eat like our gluten-free Smoky-Sweet Trail Mix. Store in a tightly sealed container for up to 3 weeks.

Ingredients

4 cups nuts of your choice (we used walnuts, almonds, pistachios)*
¼ cup coconut oil
3 tablespoons honey
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon chili powder
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
¼ teaspoon granulated garlic
1 teaspoon sea salt

Directions

Preheat oven to 350° F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment.

Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and stir well to combine.

Spread evenly on parchment-lined pan and bake on center rack for 15-20 minutes, or until completely dry, stirring once to re-distribute.

Turn off oven and allow mix to set in oven an additional 5 minutes before removing to cool.

Store in a tightly sealed container for up to 3 weeks.

*Note: Soaking nuts in boiling water for 20 minutes then draining them well before using adds crispness to this recipe.

Nutritional analysis for recipes is created using Food Processor SQL nutrition and fitness software by ESHA. Recipes are analyzed per serving (unless otherwise indicated) for calories, fat, cholesterol, sodium, carbohydrates, fiber and protein.

Nonspecific amounts, for example "to taste," and garnishes are not included.
