Ingredients
- 2 cups raw sunflower seeds
- 3 tbsp honey
- 2 tablespoon unflavored oil (avocado, grape seed, canola, etc.)
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ½ tsp cayenne pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add the honey to a large microwave-safe mixing bowl and heat it in the microwave on medium heat for 20 seconds.
- Add the oil, sea salt, and cayenne pepper (optional) and stir to combine.
- Add the sunflower seeds to the bowl and stir to coat the seeds with the honey mixture.
- Spread the sunflower seeds across the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Bake for 15 minutes, or until the seeds have turned a golden color. Stir seeds every 3-4 minutes to prevent burning.
- Remove the seeds from the oven and allow them to cool completely.
- Store seeds in an airtight container for 2-3 months.
Notes
- Use raw sunflower seed kernels, with the shells removed.
- Watch the seeds closely as they cook and stir halfway through the roasting time to ensure they cook evenly.
- Allow the seeds to cool completely, then break up the clusters into smaller pieces.
- Be sure to store in an airtight container - if not stored properly, the seeds may soften.
