Maple Roasted Cashew Trail Mix

• 2 1/2 cups raw cashews
• 1/2 cup maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 1/2 cup dairy free or dark chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup dried cranberries
• 1/2 cup pumpkin seeds
• 1/2 cup shredded coconut or chips (optional)

1. Preheat oven to 325u0b0F and line a baking sheet with unbleached parchment paper.
2. Place your cashews on the tray and drizzle over maple syrup and sea salt. Use a spoon or spatula to mix well and spread out (this can be done in a bowl first if you prefer).
3. Roast for 7 minutes, flip, then roast for another 7 minutes. Take out sooner if the nuts are starting to burn.
4. While the cashews are roasting, combine the rest of the ingredients in a container or bowl. Wait to add the cashews until they are completely cooled so that the chocolate doesn't melt.
5. Store in a covered container or large mason jar. Keep in the refrigerator if it is hot out or to keep fresher longer, although it keeps fine on the counter covered.
