Ingredients
¼ cup flaxseeds (ground or whole)
¼ cup pumpkin seeds
¼ cup sunflower seeds
2 Tbsp chia seeds
1 tsp olive oil
½ tsp red chili powder (optional)
½ tsp sea salt (optional, skip for low-sodium)
2 tsp nutritional yeast
Instructions
In a bowl, combine flaxseeds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and chia seeds.
Add olive oil, chili powder, and sea salt. Stir to coat evenly.
Roast using one of two methods:
Microwave: Toast on medium power for 4–5 minutes, stirring halfway through.
Stovetop: Roast on low heat, stirring constantly until seeds pop and smell nutty (about 5–6 minutes).
Remove from heat, cool completely, then stir in nutritional yeast.
Store in an airtight jar or portion into small containers. Keeps for 2 weeks at room temperature or longer refrigerated.
Notes
Add Ginger: A pinch of ground ginger can aid digestion and add warmth.
Skip the Chili: For a gentler version, omit the red chili powder.
Use Ground Flax: Easier to digest and absorb than whole flaxseeds.
Batch & Freeze: Make a double batch and freeze half for freshness.
Sprinkle Smart: Use on salads, soups, yogurt, or blend into smoothies for a savory boost.
