Peanut Free Pineapple Lime Trail Mix
Tropical, tangy, and just a little bit addictive, this trail mix hits every note you want from a snack — sweet dried pineapple, toasty almonds and walnuts, crunchy pepitas, and a bright lime-and-maple glaze that ties it all together. A pinch of cayenne is optional, but if you're into that sweet-heat combo, don't skip it. Store-bought trail mixes can be a minefield when it comes to shared equipment and mystery ingredients, so making your own means you know exactly what's in every handful. The short oven time does serious work here — just 7 to 9 minutes transforms the nuts and seeds into something fragrant and golden, with the maple syrup caramelizing into a light, crispy coating as everything cools on the pan. Fresh lime zest and juice give it a citrusy lift that feels genuinely refreshing rather than artificially flavored. Once cooled, the dried pineapple gets folded in so it stays chewy and bright against the crunch of the roasted nuts. Keep a jar of this on the counter and it won't last long.
