Dry and Season Raw Sunflower Seeds

Sunflower seeds are an ideal snack for those times when you need something to munch on. You can enjoy them while watching a movie, relaxing with a book, or doing whatever else it is you do.

Steps

 * 1) Buy some sunflower seeds. Make sure they are raw.
 * 2) Pour some of your seeds into a container, and add a small amount of water. Two tablespoons ought to be enough.
 * 3) Stir your seeds until all of them are moist.
 * 4) Use a coffee grinder to grid up some salt. It's recommended to use garlic salt with a touch of lemon pepper at a ratio of about 3:1. Sprinkle the resulting product on your seeds and stir vigorously until each seed is roughly equally seasoned.
 * 5) Dump your seeds onto a large flat plate, and spread them around. Put the plate in a microwave oven for a minute and a half. Once the time runs out, stir your seeds, and put them back in for another minute. Take them out, stir some more, try a couple of seeds to see how dry they are, and put them back in for the amount of time you deem necessary.
 * 6) When your seeds' shells give off a satisfying crack when you eat them and the seeds inside are crunchy and not soft, you're done.

Tips

 * To get rid of the coffee scent in your coffee grinder, wash it with vinegar.
 * Be careful when tasting your seeds - they can be very hot inside after sitting in the microwave for a couple of minutes.
 * Feel free to experiment with different spices in your seasoning.
