Ingredients

• 0.5 cup Raw almonds
• 0.5 cup Raw hazelnuts
• 0.25 cup Raw sunflower seeds
• 0.25 cup Raw pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
• 0.25 cup White sesame seeds
• 2 tablespoons Coriander seeds
• 1 tablespoon Cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon Fennel seeds
• 1 teaspoon Ground paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Sea salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Spread the almonds, hazelnuts, sunflower seeds, and pumpkin seeds evenly across the prepared baking sheet.

Step 3

Roast the nuts and seeds in the oven for 8-10 minutes until golden and fragrant, shaking the tray midway to ensure even roasting.

Step 4

In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the coriander seeds, cumin seeds, and fennel seeds for 2-3 minutes until aromatic, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

Step 5

Remove the nuts and seeds from the oven and allow them to cool completely before proceeding.

Step 6

Once cooled, add the roasted almonds and hazelnuts to a food processor or mortar and pestle. Pulse or crush them into a coarse mixture (be careful not to over-process into a paste).

Step 7

Transfer the coarsely ground nuts to a mixing bowl and add the toasted sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, and spices (paprika, black pepper, and salt).

Step 8

Lightly crush the toasted coriander, cumin, and fennel seeds using a mortar and pestle or spice grinder, and add them to the bowl with the other ingredients.

Step 9

Mix everything thoroughly until evenly combined.

Step 10

Store your high-protein dukkah in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks or in the fridge for longer freshness.
