Seasoning Sunflower Seeds

The saga with the sunflower seeds has come to an end.

I'm sure you may recall here the battle with the various critters eating them.  But now, it's time...

"OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!"

The sunflowers I mean, I took their heads off, took those de-lish seeds out, seasoned, and baked them.

Here's how it was done.

• Dried Sunflower heads
• Olive Oil
• Water
• Jane's Krazy Salt
• Peper
• Paprika
• Garlic Powder

1. Crinkle, yes crinkle, the dried sunflower head (that has been dried for weeks until it's crispy) over a large bowl to catch the seeds.
2. Add water to your bowl washing the seeds and random dried pieces of sunflower.
3. Strain and put in oven on 200 on a baking sheet until they are dried out.
4. Gathering sunflower seeds and misc. in hand lightly blow on the seeds shuffling them from one hand to another.  This action will blow the misc on to your counter, leaving you with only seeds.
5. Put the clean seeds in a new baking sheet and repeat until all seeds are accounted for.
6. Drizzle a little bit of olive oil and a little bit of water on the seeds.
7. Add seasonings to taste, adding more seasonings as you bake, if needed.
8. Bake at no more than 250 stirring occasionally until completely dry and crunchy.
9. Let them cool and keep in an airtight (jar) container.

Enjoy with friends.
