Seeds
I love making this roasted seed mix on a lazy Sunday afternoon—it fills the house with a warm, nutty aroma and keeps me snacking happily all week.
I first tried making this seed mix during a chilly fall afternoon when I craved something crunchy and nutrient-packed.
I discovered that adding a splash of tamari gives the seeds an extra savory kick that I adore.
This recipe is dear to me because it reminds me of those cozy, self-care moments where nourishing my body feels like a big hug.
Plus, I get to mix and match flavors depending on my mood, making it endlessly versatile!

Ingredients & Substitutions
Pumpkin and sunflower seeds are my go-to for this mix because they're hearty and packed with healthy fats. But if I'm out of one, I've swapped in chia seeds or hemp hearts, and they work beautifully too. If you're avoiding sesame seeds, just leave them out—there's plenty of flavor without them!
Tips & Notes
- •I like to stir the seeds halfway through roasting to get them evenly golden—trust me, it's worth it.
- •Sometimes, I'll spread them on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- •Once cooled, I store them in a mason jar on my counter; they stay crunchy and delightful for days.
Recipe Variations
- •If I'm feeling adventurous, I'll toss in a pinch of smoked paprika for a smoky flavor.
- •My sister swears by adding a sprinkle of nutritional yeast for a cheesy touch—it's delicious!
Storage & Freezing
Store the cooled roasted seeds in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks, or refrigerate for extended freshness.
