Recipe for munchy seeds?

taurusgb

I'm (almost) sure I saw a reference in one of your posts about making nibbly seeds ..... just wondered if you would mind posting the recipe please? I've got some seeds I need to use up and thought these might make a change from popcorn for healthy snacks for the family.

Thanks in advance :beer:

Hi, I'm pretty sure the recipe that Thriftlady uses is from More With Less:

2 cups (300g) sunflower seeds
1 tbsp oil
1 dsp worcestershire sauce
sprinkle garlic salt.

Combine all together on a baking sheet and bake at 180C for about 30mins, stirring once or twice.

Hope this helps - I'm sure that Thriftlady has an even better version that she has worked out.

I am always lost in admiration with Thriftlady's ideas and recipes so I am sure you are right :A


taurusgb slinks from forum hanging head in shame..............

Aw shucks you're making me blush Thriftmonster is right, the recipe is from More With Less. I have indeed changed it a bit -same quantities of everything but I usually use soy sauce instead of Worcester (shouldn't really say that considering where I live). I don't normally have garlic salt in so I sprinkle with something like season-all or Barts poultry seasoning -any blend like cajun/bbq/piri piri would be good too, or smoked paprika..mmm

See, I knew she would have some improved version - must try out the fajita seasoned version.

My Mum buys seeds (!) that are flavoured with peanut butter, tahini and soy which are nice - pumpkin and sunflower mixed - though personally I would add some Tabasco next time I tried to reproduce them.

Used your recipe Thriftlady - LOVELY! Thought I'd done enough for the weekend - but there's about 2 tablespoons left :rotfl:so I guess not!

Thanks again

This is also nice with curry powder and honey instead of worcester sauce.

Ooh I like the sound of the peanut butter, tahini and soy- am going to try that next (when I've bought some more seeds that is).

Talking of Tahini paste do you happen to know where I can get some from? the shop I used to buy it from has recently closed and I only have enough left for one more lot of humus (sp?).

Oh excellent Gingham Ribbon - will add this to my list of "must try soons" :j

I actually buy my tahini from Tesco - it's either near the stock cubes or near the sundried tomatoes, olives in jars etc - unless they've moved it to the wholefood section!!!!

I used 1 tbsp peanut butter, 1 dsp tahini and 1 dsp soy - next time I would use a bit more soy and a few drops of Tabasco as I said

Going to do Gingham's version tomorrow - sounds yummy!

We had butternut squash for dinner a couple of nights ago, and as I was scraping the seeds out, I thought I'd try roasting them with some seasoning........ They were delicious...... and to think I used to throw them away!!!
