- RINSE lentils thoroughly under cold water. Soak in cool water for 1 hour. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
- ONCE lentils have finished soaking, drain and pat dry with a clean towel. Spread out on a parchment lined tray and bake for 10 minutes. Stir and bake another 10-15 minutes or until lentils are dry and slightly crunchy.
- MIX cooked lentils with almonds, pecans, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, canola oil, honey, chilli powder, onion powder, garlic, pepper, salt, and cayenne. Spread out on the lined baking tray and bake for 10 minutes at 350°F (180°C) and then stir and bake for another 10-15 minutes or until golden brown. Toss prepared mix into a large bowl to cool. The mixture will become crunchy once it cools.
- ONCE the mix has cooled, toss in dates and chocolate. Store in an airtight container.
