Ingredients




1 cup shelled pumpkin seeds
1 cup shelled sunflower seeds
1/4 cup whole flaxseed
1/4 cup sesame seeds
2 tablespoons brown sugar
3 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon sea salt

Preparation

1 Preheat oven to 300F, line a 8" square pan with parchment or very well greased foil. 2 Combine seeds in a medium bowl, set aside. 3 In a measuring cup or small bowl, mix together brown sugar, honey, sesame oil and salt. Microwave on HI for 30 seconds. 4 Pour the liquid mixture over the seeds and stir to coat well. 5 Pour into the lined pan and press down firmly to compact. 6 Cover with foil and bake 35 minutes, then uncover and bake a further 10 minutes. 7 Immediately after removing from the oven, place the piece of foil back over the top and press the bottom of an identical-sized square pan firmly onto the baked mixture once again to compact it. 8 Remove pan and foil and allow to cool completely before cutting up into pieces.
