Vegan Mediterranean Herb Roasted Seeds

These roasted seeds are the kind of snack that disappears faster than you expect — deeply savory, 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 oregano, cumin, and smoked paprika before hitting a low oven, where they slowly turn golden and fragrant. The trick is spreading them in a single layer and stirring halfway through so every seed toasts evenly, then pulling them just as the pepitas start to puff. Scattering the lemon zest over the seeds the moment they come out of the oven is a small step that makes a big difference, infusing that citrusy brightness right into the crust. A handful of fresh flat-leaf parsley added at the end keeps things feeling vibrant and a little Mediterranean. Every ingredient here is entirely plant-based, so there's no need to scan labels or second-guess anything — just straightforward, whole-food snacking. Equally at home in a bowl at a party, scattered over a salad, or eaten by the handful straight off the pan.
