I got this idea from honey roasted sunflower seeds sold in bulk at the grocery store. It is much cheaper to make the mixture yourself, plus you can control the amount of salt used. Here is a local price comparison: honey roasted sunflower seeds in bulk cost $1.49 per pound. Raw sunflower seeds in bulk cost ¢.99 per pound. Ingredients:
2 cups raw sunflower seeds |
3 tablespoons honey (warm the honey first) or 3 tablespoons agave nectar (warm the honey first) |
2 tablespoons bland oil (any unflavored oil such as sunflower, safflower, corn, etc.) |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
Directions:
1. Tip: by warming the honey first, it will be much easier to stir the honey and sunflower seeds together.
2. PREHEAT oven to 325º.
3. In a mixing bowl combine all the ingredients and stir well to coat the seeds.
4. Arrange the sunflower seeds singly (as best you can) on a large parchment-lined baking sheet.
5. Bake for approximately 15-20 minutes or until seeds are golden, stirring often. Important: *You must watch the baking process carefully to avoid burning the seeds.*.
6. Remove from oven and cool completely.
7. Note: the sunflower seeds will stick together like candy brittle. Break apart and transfer to airtight container.
