Sick of nuts? Or just plain anaphylactic to them? These seeds are just the solution you’re taste buds have been looking for. Nutritionally – seeds are similar to nuts, so you can sub them into your snack rotation at a similar portion. All the recipes below just happen to be gluten-free and dairy-free (yes, even the cheesy ones!)
INGREDIENTS
3 variations..
Crunchy cheesy seeds
- 1 cup mixed seeds (pumpkin, sunflower, sesame, chia, poppy, quinoa)
- 2 tbsp. nutritional yeast flakes
- ½ tsp garlic powder

Salt + vinegar sprinkles

METHOD
- Pre-heat your oven to 180°C, and line a shallow oven tray with baking paper
- Add your seeds to a medium-sized mixing bowl along with the flavourings listed below the seed recipe you want to create.
- Stir seeds to get a good coverage of the flavourings
- Pour seeds onto the baking tray in a single layer, and roast until starting to turn golden. This is not the time to walk away – they can burn quickly!
