      Hi Tessa ,this looks awesome!
      If I don't have canned chickpeas ,what's the other option.
      I can get it only in dry form like soya beans or pulses.
      How can I bake those dry chickpeas

      One question. Do the spices stick to the nuts and seeds without being baked or tossed with olive oil? Sounds delicious, though, and I probably wouldn't stop eating them if I make them!

        Hi Alene! Thanks for your note. I've actually been wanting to make a couple updates to this recipe, such as toasting the nuts (really enhances the flavor), that have been on my list. Your note reminded me to get to it! I've just updated it - adding a little olive oil to nuts and seeds before toasting also allows more seasoning to stick to them as well. Happy New Year!

      OMG, you said the F word (fritos - gah!). You know, I grew up on those and had a weekly douse of frito pie - omg. But now, I'll take a salty snack like this any day over those.. these are scrumptious Tessa! And go ahead and give me extra cayenne. Road trip perfection! xo (your photography - swoooon!)

      Oh shoot, this is right up my alley! I used to go sweet every single time for snacks, but now I'm ALL about the savory. I think this mix is a perfect solution to the 'buy a big bag of chips and eat them all' problem I have when traveling :) xoxo

        Haha, yes, those bags of chips are pretty hard to say no to once you've been on the road for a while! Hope you had a great weekend! xo
