Preparation method

How do you make this?

Preheat the oven to 130°C (fan).

Briefly roast the spices of the savory topping in a dry pan. Coarsely grind in a mortar and add to the savory mix.

Mix the ingredients of the chosen topping in a bowl.

Spread the mixtures evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Roast in the oven for 30 minutes. Toss halfway through. Keep a close eye on it: every oven is different.

Let cool completely and store in an airtight jar in a dry place.

Tips

If your oven is large enough, roast both toppings at the same time on separate baking trays.
Add the sweet topping to a fruity salad with blue cheese or goat cheese for a surprising combo.
Make larger quantities at once and store in separate jars.
Add a pinch of salt to the savory mix for extra punch.
The sweet mix also goes well on baked apple or pear for dessert.
