The Process

• Dry the seeds in one layer on a towel or paper towel.
• Once the seeds are dry heat the oven to 350 degrees with a rack placed in the middle.
• Place the seeds in a bowl and drizzle with olive oil or vegetable oil to evenly coat.
• Sprinkle on your desired seasoning over the seeds and toss to evenly coat them.
• Spread the seeds in one layer on a baking sheet.
