Chef's Note

For the best texture contrast, toast the nuts until they're just a shade darker than you think they should be - this develops maximum flavor without burning. You can also prepare individual components ahead of time and assemble just before serving to maintain the perfect crunch factor.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups plain Greek yogurt (full-fat)

  • 1 cup raw mixed nuts (almonds, walnuts, pecans)

  • 1/4 cup raw pumpkin seeds

  • 3 tablespoons honey

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • 1 cup fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)

  • 1 teaspoon fresh orange zest

  • 1/8 teaspoon sea salt

  • 3/4 cup granola

Instructions
  • 1

    Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  • 2

    Roughly chop 1 cup of mixed nuts, keeping some pieces larger for texture variation.

  • 3

    In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped nuts and 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds with 1 tablespoon of honey, 1/8 teaspoon sea salt, and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon. Toss until evenly coated.

  • 4

    Spread the nut mixture in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and toast in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden and fragrant. Watch carefully to prevent burning.

  • 5

    While nuts are cooling, wash and hull 1 cup of fresh berries, then slice larger berries like strawberries.

  • 6

    In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 cups of Greek yogurt, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, remaining 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon fresh orange zest until well combined.

  • 7

    Prepare three serving glasses or bowls. Begin layering by placing 1/4 cup yogurt mixture at the bottom of each container.

  • 8

    Add a layer of toasted nuts and seeds (about 2 tablespoons per container), followed by a layer of fresh berries (about 2 tablespoons).

  • 9

    Add another layer of yogurt (about 1/4 cup), followed by 2 tablespoons of granola in each container.

  • 10

    Continue layering until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of yogurt on top.

  • 11

    Drizzle each parfait with remaining honey (about 2 teaspoons per serving).

  • 12

    Garnish with a few reserved berries, nuts, and a light sprinkle of cinnamon.

  • 13

    Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving (keep granola separate until serving if preparing in advance to maintain crunchiness).
