Quick Dry-Roasted Sunflower Seeds (& Toasted Sesame Seeds):

This is a great method for toasting sunflower seeds (or sesame seeds) when you only need a somewhat small amount… Just heat a skillet on the stove over medium heat. When pan is hot, toss in some sunflower seeds (don’t crowd the pan…you want the seeds in a single layer). Stand guard over the pan, as the seeds go quickly from “perfectly done” to “burnt”! You don’t need any oil to make this delicious salad topping! Just stir the seeds frequently until golden brown. Remove from heat and sprinkle with salt (if desired). Transfer to a paper towel or plate, so the seeds don’t continue to cook/burn in the pan. Transfer to an air-tight container once cooled completely. Enjoy!
