- Toss the seeds in a small amount of olive oil or other healthy oil (like canola).
- Sprinkle with salt or other seasonings (see suggestions below).
- Bake at 325°F for 25 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes or so.
- Allow to cool. Store in an airtight container.
Seasoning suggestions:
- 1/4 tsp salt, 1/16 tsp garlic salt, 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce for each cup of seeds
- 1 tablespoon of seafood season (like Old Bay) for each cup of seeds
- 1/8 cup sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper for each cup of seeds
