Crunchy, golden, and packed with Mediterranean warmth, this roasted seed mix is the kind of snack that disappears faster than you expect. 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 toast into something deeply savory and satisfying. The real finishing move is the lemon zest scattered over the seeds the moment they come out of the oven — the heat blooms the citrus oils and ties everything together beautifully. Store-bought seasoned snacks can be a minefield when you're avoiding tree nuts, since shared facilities and mixed nut blends are everywhere, but this recipe keeps things completely in your control with simple, clearly labeled ingredients. A quick stir halfway through roasting and a five-minute rest on the pan is all it takes to get that addictive crispness. Scatter over fresh parsley if you want a little color and brightness, then serve at room temperature as a snack, a salad topper, or something to set out with drinks.
