Citric Acid Free Rosemary Almond Snack Mix
Snack mixes from the store are sneaky — citric acid shows up as a preservative or flavor enhancer in more packaged foods than you'd expect, making grab-and-go options genuinely frustrating. This homemade version sidesteps all of that with a short, clean ingredient list built around raw almonds, pumpkin seeds, and sunflower seeds. A drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil helps the seasonings cling, while fresh rosemary, garlic powder, turmeric, and a pinch of cayenne deliver serious depth without any hidden additives. The low-and-slow roast at 325°F coaxes out a deep, toasty crunch that no bag from the snack aisle can really compete with. Sea salt ties everything together, and the mix crisps up even further as it cools — so patience pays off. Store it in an airtight container and you've got a savory, satisfying snack ready to go whenever hunger hits.
