A favorite snack at Saudi majlis gatherings, these seasoned seeds are made by tossing sunflower seeds with cumin and black pepper and quickly roasting them in an air fryer. Their low-carb content makes them a good snack for long conversations.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Season the seeds

8 min

Pat the washed seeds dry with paper towels, then mix thoroughly with the olive oil, cumin, black pepper, and salt.

2

Roast

15 min

Spread the seeds in a single layer in the air fryer basket and roast at 160°C / 320°F for 15 minutes, shaking occasionally. If you do not have an air fryer, roast them in an oven preheated to 160°C / 320°F for 25 minutes.

3

Cool

5 min

Spread the roasted seeds on a wide baking pan and let them cool completely; they become crisp as they cool.

Reminder

Arrange the seeds in a single layer in the basket; if they are piled up, the seeds in the middle may remain raw. Contains no allergens.

Sepetim küçük olduğu için 3 su bardağı çekirdek tek kat sığmadı, iki ayrı partide pişirince toplam süreyi 15 yerine 22 dakikaya çıkarmak zorunda kaldım ama sonuç yine de gayet çıtır oldu.

15 dakika airfryer'da kavurunca kabukları güzelce gevredi, misafirlere kahve yanında ikram ettim.
