Preheat a dry skillet over medium heat.
Add hazelnuts to the skillet and toast them for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are lightly browned and fragrant. Remove from the skillet and set aside to cool.
In the same skillet, toast the almonds for 3-5 minutes until they start to brown slightly. Remove and set aside to cool.
Add the sesame seeds to the pan and toast for 2-3 minutes, stirring often, until golden. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Toast the coriander seeds, cumin seeds, fennel seeds, and black peppercorns together in the skillet for about 2-3 minutes, until fragrant. Be careful not to burn them. Remove and let cool completely.
Place the toasted hazelnuts and almonds into a food processor. Pulse a few times until coarsely chopped. Be careful not to overprocess as you want a textured mix, not a nut butter.
Add the toasted spices, sesame seeds, salt, and smoked paprika to the food processor. Pulse a few more times until everything is mixed and the spices are finely crushed but the mixture remains textured.
Transfer the dukkah to an airtight jar and store at room temperature for up to 2 weeks or in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
Use as a topping for roasted vegetables, a seasoning for meats, or as a dip for compliant vegetables with olive oil.
