Honey Roasted Sunflower Seeds

Recipe by Veronika Sykorova

These Honey Roasted Sunflower Seeds are an easy snack, or a crunchy and flavorful addition to any salad or bowl! They're ready in under 30 minutes and have just 7 simple ingredients. You can easily double the recipe or change up the ingredients to make it your own!

  • Total Time15 minutes
  • Yield4-6 1x
  • DietGluten Free

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp avocado oil (or other cooking oil)
  • 1 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1 cup sunflower seeds

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, stir together honey, avocado oil, fine sea salt, dried thyme, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes. It’s ok if it’s too thick.
  3. Add the sunflower seeds to your prepared baking sheet.
  4. Pour the honey mixture over the seeds and toss them with it. The mixture will likely be too thick to mix with the sunflower seeds properly; this is ok.
  5. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven for 5 minutes. This will melt the honey, and you’ll be able to easily toss and coat the sunflower seeds with the mixture. Spread them out on the baking sheet and return it back into the oven for 5 more minutes or until golden. Keep an eye on them, they can burn easily.
  6. Take them out of the oven and allow them to cool for 10-15 minutes. You can carefully slide the parchment paper off the baking sheet to cool them more quickly. They’ll be soft when they come out of the oven, but will harden as they cool.
  7. Once cooled, peel them off the parchment paper and break them up into small pieces.
  8. Wait for the seeds to cool down completely before storing.

Notes

Store the roasted sunflower seeds in an airtight container at room temperature in a cool and dark place for about a week. Or store in the fridge for 2 weeks.
