Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Spread the hazelnuts and almonds evenly on the baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 8-10 minutes, or until they are golden and fragrant. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning.
While the nuts are roasting, toast the coriander seeds, cumin seeds, and sesame seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat. Stir frequently and toast for about 3-5 minutes, or until they release a fragrant aroma. Remove from heat and set aside.
Once the nuts have cooled slightly, rub the hazelnuts in a clean kitchen towel to remove as much of the skin as possible. It’s okay if some skin remains.
In a food processor, combine the roasted hazelnuts and almonds. Pulse briefly to create a coarse texture. Be careful not to grind too finely, as you want small, distinct pieces.
Add the toasted seeds, black peppercorns, sea salt, and paprika (if using) to the food processor. Pulse a few more times to combine everything evenly.
Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding a bit more salt or spice as desired.
Transfer the dukkah to an airtight container and store at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. You can also store it in the refrigerator for prolonged freshness.
Serve by dipping raw vegetables into olive oil and then into the dukkah, or use as a topping for salads, grilled meats, or scrambled eggs.
