Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almonds, cashews, pecans, and pumpkin seeds.
Drizzle the maple syrup over the nut mixture and stir to coat evenly.
Sprinkle the cinnamon and salt over the mixture, then toss again to ensure even distribution.
Spread the nut mixture onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for 12-15 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the nuts are golden and fragrant. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the roasted nuts and seeds to cool completely on the pan.
Once cooled, transfer the roasted mixture to a large mixing bowl and add the dried cranberries and dark chocolate chips. Mix well.
Store the Oven Roasted Maple Gorp in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks or pack into small bags for individual servings.
