Ingredients

1 cup pepitas

1 cup raw sunflower seeds (hulled)

½ cup flax seeds

½ cup raw egusi (African watermelon seeds)

¼ cup chia seeds

¼ cup tri-colored quinoa, rinsed and dried

¼ cup white sesame seeds

⅛ cup black sesame seeds

⅛ cup amaranth seeds

2 tablespoons olive oil

½ teaspoon fine sea salt

½ teaspoon cayenne pepper

¼ teaspoon freshly ground multicolored peppercorns

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper; this will help later when putting the medley in a container.

Step 2

Combine pepitas, sunflower seeds, flax seeds, egusi, chia seeds, quinoa, white sesame seeds, black sesame seeds, and amaranth seeds in a large bowl. Mix together using a rubber spatula. Drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil over seeds while mixing. Drizzle remaining olive oil in and continue mixing. Season with salt, cayenne, and ground peppercorns; mix until well combined. Pour mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread out in a single layer.

Step 3

Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and stir well. Bake for another 5 minutes and stir again. Check egusi seeds as they will be the first seeds that show signs of roasting by turning brown. Bake for 5 more minutes, checking in after 3 minutes without opening oven door. Once egusi are brown and pepitas are beginning to brown (they will have a glossy shine and should begin to puff up), turn off the heat and open the oven door. Leave the seeds inside with the door open for 10 minutes.

Step 4

Remove baking sheet and let seeds cool on the sheet, stirring occasionally. Once completely cooled, store in an airtight container for up to 3 weeks.
