Equipment
- mixing bowl
- oven
- baking sheet
- spatula
- measuring cups
- measuring spoons
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1/4 cup flax seeds
- 1/4 cup hemp seeds
- 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds raw, unsalted
- 1/4 cup sunflower seeds raw, unsalted
- 1/4 cup sesame seeds
- 1/4 tsp salt optional
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 300°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the chia seeds, flax seeds, hemp seeds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, and salt (if using). Stir well to evenly distribute all ingredients.
- Drizzle the olive oil over the seed mixture and stir thoroughly until all seeds are lightly coated.
- Spread the seed mixture in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure the layer is no more than 1/4 inch thick for even roasting.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then stir the seeds gently with a spatula to promote even browning.
- Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the seeds are golden brown and fragrant. Be careful not to overbake.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the seeds cool completely on the sheet. They will crisp up as they cool.
- Once cooled, transfer the seed mixture to an airtight container for storage.
Notes
Be careful not to overbake. Seeds will crisp up as they cool.
