Savoury Seeds

O.K, so not really a recipe, but something every healthy-minded person needs to have in their house!

Every few weeks I whip up a batch of these savoury seeds, then get them out whenever I want something to sprinkle over meals. They are full of protein and healthy fats, zinc, vitamin B-6 and magnesium, and replace less healthy toppings like bread crumbs or cheese.

I recommend you make some of these and have them on hand the next time your meal needs a bit more oomph. I use them in wraps, stir-fries, salads, soups and curries. Here I’ve sprinkled them over an asian salmon and coleslaw meal:

seeds

1 cup pumpkin seeds

1 cup sunflower seeds

2 tablespoons sesame seeds

4-6 tablespoons tamari sauce (or other good quality soy sauce)

Mix the sauce through the seeds and spread in a single layer on a baking tray. The sauce should coat all the seeds but not puddle underneath them. Bake at 150 degrees on fan bake, turning often, until brown and toasty. Remove from oven, wait until cool, then store in an airtight container. Will keep for several weeks.
