Sparkling Strawberry-Lemon Oven-Roasted Snack Mix

Ingredients

- 1 cup strawberries, hulled and halved
- 2 cups watermelon, diced
- 1 cup lemonade
- 1/2 cup rosé wine
- 1/4 cup Pimm's
- 1/4 cup sparkling water
- 1 tablespoon melted margarita mix (replace half of the sugar in the mix with salt for balance)
- 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon tea leaves, crushed
- 1/2 cup crushed tortilla chips
- 1/2 cup roasted almonds, roughly chopped
- 1/2 cup spritzer-flavored popcorn
- Non-stick cooking spray

Instructions

1. Preparation: Begin by preheating the oven to 350°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray.

2. Mix Liquids: In a large bowl, combine the lemonade, rosé wine, Pimm's, and sparkling water. Stir in the melted margarita mix and lemon zest until well mixed.

3. Marinate Fruits: Add the strawberries and watermelon into the bowl with the liquid mixture. Ensure the fruit is well-coated, then set aside to marinate for 15 minutes.

4. Prepare the Snack Mix: In another large mixing bowl, combine the crushed tortilla chips, roasted almonds, spritzer-flavored popcorn, and crushed tea leaves. Mix until evenly distributed.

5. Combine & Roast: Drain the marinated fruit, reserving the liquid marinade for later use. Gently fold the drained strawberries and watermelon into the snack mix to distribute fruits throughout the mixture evenly.

6. Roasting: Spread the combined snack mix evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Place the sheet in the oven and roast for about 15 minutes or until the popcorn and chips are slightly golden and the fruit starts to caramelize slightly.

7. Cool & Serve: Remove from the oven and allow to cool for about 10 minutes. As it cools, any residual marinade will slightly soak into the mix, enhancing the flavors. Serve immediately with a drizzle of the reserved marinade or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
