Sesame Free Rosemary Almond Snack Mix

Snack mixes sound simple until you start reading labels — sesame hides in everything from seasoning blends to "mixed nut" bags, making store-bought options a real gamble. This homemade version sidesteps all of that with a clean, straightforward lineup of almonds, pumpkin seeds, and sunflower seeds tossed in olive oil and baked until golden and fragrant. Fresh rosemary is the star here, bringing an herby, almost woodsy depth that pairs beautifully with the warm undertones of turmeric and garlic powder. A pinch of cayenne is optional, but if you like a little heat creeping in at the end, don't skip it. The low-and-slow roast at 325°F keeps everything from burning while coaxing out that deep, toasty crunch that makes it impossible to stop at one handful. Once cooled, the mix crisps up even further and stores well in an airtight container, so you can batch it ahead for the week. It's the kind of snack that feels fancy enough to set out for guests but easy enough to make on a Tuesday afternoon.
