Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Spread the almonds, hazelnuts, sunflower seeds, and pumpkin seeds evenly across the prepared baking sheet.
Roast the nuts and seeds in the oven for 8-10 minutes until golden and fragrant, shaking the tray midway to ensure even roasting.
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.
Remove the nuts and seeds from the oven and allow them to cool completely before proceeding.
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).
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).
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.
Mix everything thoroughly until evenly combined.
Store your high-protein dukkah in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks or in the fridge for longer freshness.
