Ingredients
– 2 cups raw sunflower seeds (in the shell or shelled)
– 2 tablespoons olive oil (or melted coconut oil)
– 1 teaspoon sea salt (adjust to taste)
– Optional seasonings (e.g., garlic powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, or cinnamon for sweet)
Instructions
Follow these easy steps to create your very own roasted sunflower seeds:
1. Preheat Your Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare the Seeds: If using unshelled seeds, remove as many shells as possible. Rinse under cold water and drain.
3. Coat with Oil: In a large bowl, mix the sunflower seeds with olive oil. Ensure they are well-coated.
4. Add Salt and Seasonings: Sprinkle in the sea salt and any additional spices you prefer. Toss until evenly distributed.
5. Spread on a Baking Sheet: Lay the seasoned sunflower seeds in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
6. Roast: Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally for even roasting.
7. Check for Doneness: The seeds should turn golden brown and fragrant. Remove them from the oven once they reach this point.
8. Cool and Store: Let the roasted seeds cool completely before transferring them to an airtight container for storage.
