HONEY I ROASTED THE SUNFLOWER SEEDS

Steps:

• Tip: by warming the honey first, it will be much easier to stir the honey and sunflower seeds together.
• PREHEAT oven to 325º.
• In a mixing bowl combine all the ingredients and stir well to coat the seeds.
• Arrange the sunflower seeds singly (as best you can) on a large parchment-lined baking sheet.
• Bake for approximately 15-20 minutes or until seeds are golden, stirring often. Important: *You must watch the baking process carefully to avoid burning the seeds.*.
• Remove from oven and cool completely.
• Note: the sunflower seeds will stick together like candy brittle. Break apart and transfer to airtight container.
