Maple Seed Brittle

Maple Seed Brittle

Serves 12

To make the nutted version, replace the pumpkin seeds with almonds, half the sesame seeds with cashews and throw in a few pecans if desired.

Ingredients

2 cups sunflower seeds

1 cup pumpkin seeds

1 cup sesame seeds

1/2 cup flax seeds, partially ground

2 tsp. cinnamon

zest of 1 orange

1/2 tsp. salt

1/3 cup maple syrup

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and toss to combine.  Taste, and add more maple syrup if necessary.

Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and empty seed mixture on top, spreading evenly.  If necessary, split mixture in half and use a second parchment lined baking sheet to avoid cramping.  With another piece of parchment paper on top roll out to even.  Bake for 10 minutes check and cook more if needed.  Cool completely, it will harden with cooling.  Enjoy!
