‘Tis the season for warm holiday gatherings, and with it comes fun and festive food and drink!

This party mix makes a tasty snack on its own, or a great addition to any charcuterie board. A mix of nuts and seeds are tossed in a sweet and spicy glaze, then roasted to perfection in the oven.

Why I Love This Oven-Roasted Sweet & Spicy Party Mix

It’s a breeze to throw together. An easy and quick recipe is always great, but especially when you have so many other things going on!

Make ahead of time. This party mix can also be made ahead of time. Just store in an airtight container at room temperature until ready to use.

Nonperishable. I love classic appetizers like deviled eggs and dips, but they do need to be refrigerated. Another great thing about party mix is that it’s nonperishable, so it can sit out no problem for a few hours at a party.
