Seed
Ingredients:
– 1 cup pumpkin seeds
– 1 cup sunflower seeds
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 teaspoon sea salt
– 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
– 1/2 teaspoon paprika
– 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, olive oil, sea salt, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Mix well until the seeds are evenly coated with the seasonings.
3. Spread the seasoned seeds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
4. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the seeds are golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them as they can burn quickly.
