Chestnut Free Pineapple Lime Trail Mix
Tropical, tangy, and just a little bit addictive, this trail mix brings together almonds, walnuts, and pumpkin seeds with a bright lime-and-maple glaze that makes it feel like so much more than a snack. A quick trip through the oven at 325°F toasts everything to fragrant, golden perfection — the maple syrup caramelizes just enough to give each piece a satisfying crunch once it cools. The lime zest and fresh lime juice cut through the sweetness beautifully, and the optional cayenne adds a subtle kick that keeps you reaching back into the bag. Chewy chunks of unsweetened dried pineapple get folded in after baking so they stay soft and juicy against all that crispy goodness. Store-bought trail mixes can be a minefield when you're avoiding certain tree nuts, but this one is built entirely from ingredients you choose and control, with no mystery additions. It comes together in one bowl and one baking sheet, making cleanup as easy as the recipe itself. Stash it in an airtight container and you've got a snack that travels well, tastes like a vacation, and holds up for days.
