  • Total Time: 25 mins
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups tropical trail mix (dried pineapple, mango, papaya)
  • 1 cup roasted cashews
  • 1 cup pretzel twists, broken
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon flaky sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest
  • Optional: 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment.
  2. Combine trail mix, cashews, pretzels and coconut in a bowl. Drizzle with honey and toss to coat.
  3. Spread evenly on the sheet and bake 8-10 minutes, stirring halfway, until golden and fragrant.
  4. Cool slightly, stir in lime zest and salt. If using chocolate, fold in chips after cooling.
  5. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

Notes

  • Make ahead: toast components separately then mix just before serving for maximum crunch.
  • Swap ingredients: almonds or pistachios work well; use dairy-free chocolate if desired.
  • To increase brightness, add dried pineapple bits or a pinch of chili powder for a tropical kick.
