Ingredients
  

CROUTONS:

  • 1 cup sunflower seeds kernels, raw
  • 2/3 cup Slivered almonds
  • 1/4 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 cup Sesame seeds
  • 1 teaspoon Redmond Real salt
  • 1 large egg

GARLIC HERB SPICE VERSION:

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

SWEET COCONUT CINNAMON VERSION:

  • 3 tablespoons Natural Sweetener
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened coconut flakes
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 300°. In a shallow baking pan, toss the nuts, seeds, almond flour and salt with the egg.
  • Add in your desired spice version.
  • Once you add in your spice, spread the mixture as thin as possible onto your prepared baking sheet (I wet my hands and use my fingers to spread it). If you want a deeper flavor, you can sprinkle on additional spices or sweetener.
  • Bake for 15 minutes.
  • Remove from oven. Break up the pieces with a spatula, flip and bake for an additional 5 minutes. Allow to cool.
