Curried Sunflower Seeds
Sunflower seeds are an excellent source of fiber and protein + they contain nearly a dozen essential vitamins and minerals, including selenium and zinc! When coated with ghee and curry powder, which naturally has potent anti-inflammatory properties, this snack packs a nutritious punch and crunch to salads and soups. Or eat by the handful as a healthy snack!
Ingredients
Method
- Melt the ghee and add the curry, salt, pepper and maple syrup. Stir till incorporated. Add sunflower seeds and a dash of olive oil and stir till seeds are well coated.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread out the seeds evenly. Try not to have them “bunched” together.
- Place into a 300F preheated oven. In about 10 minutes take them out of the oven and stir – still making sure the seeds are evenly spread out.
- Taste one (watch out they’re HOT!) and if more salt is needed, sprinkle over seeds.
- Place back in oven. You will begin to smell them roasting before they burn. Can toss them another time or so to make sure they’re roasting evenly.
- When golden brown, remove and place on a cooling rack. When cooled, put into a clean jar and lid. Store in fridge.
Notes
Can also add to sauteed greens or rice for added crunch.
