Equipment
- weighing scales
- measuring spoons
- mixing bowl
- spoon
- Baking sheet plus baking paper, or silicone liner
Ingredients
- 50 g pumpkin seeds
- 50 g sunflower seeds
- 75 g mixed seeds
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari sauce
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil (melted)
- ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 160C/140CFan/320F. Line a baking sheet with baking parchment or a silicone liner.
- Place all the ingredients into a large bowl and stir until really well combined, and all the seeds are coated in the soy sauce, oil and seasoning.
- Spread the seeds evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, using the spoon to make as thin a layer as possible.
- Place the baking sheet into the hot oven and bake for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven, gently stir the seeds to break them up a little and avoid large clumps forming, then return to the oven for a further 5 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and place the baking sheet on a wire cooling rack.
- Leave the seeds to cool completely then transfer to a jar, or container, with a tight fitting lid.
- Store the seeds at room temperature and use within 1 month, after that they will start to soften and loose their crunch.
Notes
You can use any variety of seeds in this salad topper recipe. I've opted for a bag of mixed seeds which contained pumpkin, sunflower, sesame and golden flax seeds. I then added in extra pumpkin and sunflower seeds which made the mixture super crunchy.
Adjust the seasoning to taste and feel free to add in other dried herbs and spices to the mix.
Use gluten free soy sauce if coeliac or following a gluten free diet.
For those with nut allergies, swap the coconut oil for another oil of choice.
