BHA & BHT Free Mediterranean Herb Roasted Seeds

Roasted seeds might sound simple, but this Mediterranean-spiced version is genuinely snackable — the kind of thing you make once and then find yourself making every week. Pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds get tossed in garlic-infused oil with oregano, cumin, and smoked paprika before hitting a low oven, where they slowly turn golden, fragrant, and just a little puffed. A hit of fresh lemon zest stirred in right off the pan brightens everything up and keeps the flavor lively rather than heavy. The whole process is straightforward and relies entirely on whole, recognizable ingredients — no preservatives, no mystery additives, just seeds and spices you can verify yourself. That matters a lot when you're trying to avoid synthetic antioxidants like BHA and BHT, which sneak into a surprising number of packaged snack foods and seasoning blends. Starting from scratch here means you stay in full control of what goes into the bowl. Finish with a scatter of fresh parsley if you have it on hand, and serve at room temperature for a crunchy, savory snack that works just as well alongside a cheese board as it does straight from the pan.
