Ingredients

  • Seeds of choice: Pepitas sunflower seeds, hemp seeds, buckwheat kernels, or sesame seeds

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 180 degrees fan forced
  • Fill a large baking tray with a mix of pepitas and sunflower seeds, hemp seeds, buckwheat kernels or sesame seeds
  • Place tray into the oven for 5 minutes
  • Remove the tray and stir the seeds around
  • NB: If it is larger seeds like pepitas and sunflower seeds it will take a bit longer to colour so return the tray to the oven for 4 minutes, watch them carefully and stir them around again, then continue at 2 minute intervals until done to your liking ... timing will all depend on your oven
  • NB: If it is smaller seeds like buckwheat kernels, sesame or hemp seeds they may be ready after the initial 5 minutes … what you are looking for are the seeds to take on a golden colour so if they need more time, stir them around and then return to the oven for 2 minute intervals until done to your liking ... again timing will depend on your oven
  • Allow to cool completely on the tray before storing in a glass jar in the fridge where they will sit happily for at least two months (NB: it is really important that they are completely cool before storing, because if they are still warm they will sweat in the sealed container which will cause them to spoil)
  • Use as desired
