‘A seed neither fears light nor darkness, but uses both to grow’
Seeds and nuts are something I try and integrate into almost every meal. They are high in protein, selenium, iron and omega-3 fatty acids. They support the immune system, your hormones, your heart and brain.
Flax, chia, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, almonds, walnuts are all easy to add to your porridge, shake or for general snacking.
This is a recipe I created in autumn due to the abundance of pumpkin seeds. I had made a lot of pumpkin dishes and also had friends and relatives who carved pumpkins for Halloween and donated the seeds to me.
This one was for Mr B, who loves everything bagels, which are seasoned with dried onion, dried garlic, poppy seeds, white and black sesame seeds and salt. You can buy the flavour mixture, or you can add equal parts of the ingredients together.
Ingredients
- 1 cup of pumpkin seeds
- 1 tbsp. olive oil
- 1 tbsp. everything bagel seasoning
Method
- Line a baking tray with parchment and heat an oven to 350F
- Mix all ingredients together
- Line the pumpkin seeds out in a single layer
- Bake for 20 minutes or until starting to turn golden
*Switch out the flavoring for anything your heart or taste buds so desire
