Crunchy Roasted Seed Mix (Printable Version)

A crunchy, flavorful blend of roasted seeds with aromatic spices ideal for snacking or garnishing dishes.

# What You Need:

01 - ½ cup pumpkin seeds

02 - ½ cup sunflower seeds

03 - ¼ cup sesame seeds

04 - ¼ cup flaxseeds

05 - 1 tablespoon olive oil

06 - ½ teaspoon sea salt

07 - ½ teaspoon smoked paprika

08 - ¼ teaspoon ground cumin

09 - ¼ teaspoon black pepper

10 - 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast

11 - ¼ teaspoon chili flakes

01 - Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

02 - In a medium bowl, mix all seeds together. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat thoroughly.

03 - Incorporate sea salt, smoked paprika, ground cumin, black pepper, and any optional ingredients. Stir well for even coverage.

04 - Spread the mixture evenly in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

05 - Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until seeds are golden and aromatic. Monitor closely to prevent burning.

06 - Remove from oven and allow to cool completely. Store in an airtight container.

01 -

It turns forgotten pantry staples into something addictive and nutritious without any fuss.
The whole batch comes together in under 20 minutes, making it perfect for when you need a healthy snack fast.
One batch lasts for days in an airtight container, so you get sustained crunching pleasure from minimal effort.

02 -

Set a timer and actually check at 12 minutes because every oven runs different and burnt seeds taste like regret instead of snacking joy.
Resist opening the oven constantly out of impatience; the heat needs to stay consistent to roast everything evenly without scorching the smaller seeds.

03 -

Toast your spices for 30 seconds in a dry pan before mixing them with the oil for a deeper, more complex flavor that tastes intentional.
If you accidentally burn a batch, don't throw it away—toss it into soups or grind it into a coarse seasoning salt for roasted vegetables instead.
