Healthy Roasted Seeds Mix Food

SPICY SEED MIX

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 160C/ 140 fan/ Gas mark 3.
• Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl and spread onto a baking sheet. Cook for 15 - 20 mins until dry and golden. Stir once during cooking. Allow to cool and store in a sealed container for up to 3 weeks.

HEALTHY ROASTED SEEDS MIX

Steps:

• Take a heavy bottomed pan. Add pumpkin seeds to it. Keep it on low flame and roast the seeds. Keep stirring occasionally. When the seeds start popping up and there is a roasted aroma, remove the seeds from the pan. Repeat the process with other seeds as well.
• When all the seeds are roasted, mix them all. Allow them to cool. Store them in an airtight container.
• You can use this mix as salad dressing, in cereals, in milk shakes, as topping on desserts or any other dish of your choice. You can also snack on it as it is.

HEALTHY SEED AND OAT CRACKERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line an 18-by-13-inch rimmed baking sheet with parchment.
• Combine the oats, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, chia seeds, flax seeds, poppy seeds and 2 teaspoons salt in a large bowl and stir to combine with a rubber spatula. Add the olive oil, maple syrup and hot water and stir to incorporate. Allow the mixture to rest for 15 minutes.
• Stir the mixture to ensure any residual liquid on the bottom is evenly dispersed and then pour the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Place a second piece of parchment on top and then use the palms of your hands to press and spread the mixture into an even layer (1/8 to 1/4 inch thick), making sure to spread all the way to edges of the pan (gently running a small offset spatula over the parchment also helps to spread the mixture evenly). Remove the top piece of parchment and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt.
• Bake until the edges are slightly golden brown and beginning to pull away from the sides of the baking sheet, about 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and cut into 24 pieces (each 2 1/2 by 2 1/2 inches) using a pizza cutter or sharp knife (see Cook's Note). Return the crackers to the oven and continue to bake until light golden brown and crisp, about 45 minutes. Allow the crackers to cool completely before serving. Store the crackers for up to 1 week in an airtight container.
