Caffeine Free Mediterranean Herb Roasted Seeds

These golden, herb-dusted seeds are the kind of snack that disappears faster than you expect — crunchy, warmly spiced, and finished with a bright hit of lemon zest that makes the whole thing pop. Pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds get tossed in garlic-infused oil with smoked paprika, cumin, and oregano before hitting a low oven, where they slowly turn fragrant and toasty. The trick is pulling them at just the right moment — when the pepitas start to puff and the kitchen smells incredible — then scattering the lemon zest over the hot seeds so it blooms into every crevice. A handful of fresh parsley at the end adds a little color and a clean, herby finish. For anyone steering clear of caffeine, this is exactly the kind of satisfying, energizing snack that doesn't rely on a stimulant kick to feel rewarding. It works just as well tucked into a small jar for on-the-go snacking as it does scattered over a salad or served alongside drinks at a gathering. Simple, real ingredients and about fifteen minutes in the oven — that's really all it takes.
