Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almonds, walnuts, pecans, pumpkin seeds, chia seeds, hemp seeds, and shredded coconut.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the erythritol, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
Pour the coconut oil mixture over the nut and seed mixture, ensuring everything is evenly coated.
Spread the mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring there are no big clumps.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes or until the nuts are slightly golden and fragrant. Stir halfway through to ensure even baking.
Remove from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet to let the crunch set.
Once cooled, break into pieces and store in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
