Crunchy Seed Sprinkle

1/3cup raw shelled pumpkin seeds

1/3 cup sunflower seeds

1/3 cup sliced almond

¼ c sesame seeds

3 tablespoons pure maple syrup

1/4 cup shredded coconut

¼ cup chia seeds

Kosher salt if needed to taste

Toast pumpkin seeds, almonds and sunflower seeds in a dry medium skillet over medium-low heat, tossing often, until golden, about1- 2 minutes. Add sesame and fennel seeds; toast, tossing often, until golden brown, about 1 minute more.

Mix in syrup; cook, stirring often, until clumps begin to form, about 1 minute. Remove from heat; stir in coconut and chia seeds. Season with salt if needed. Transfer to a parchment or wax paper-lined baking sheet; let cool.

Other great seeds to include are hemp seed or flax seed meal. You could also add 2 tsp fennel, aniseed, caraway, or cumin seeds but be aware these will give a strong flavor.
