Keep a jar of this seedy sprinkle on your counter to top bowls of yogurt, soup, salad, or anything you want to add a bit of crunch (and healthy fiber and protein!) to, or just eat it straight out of the jar as a snack.

Recipe information

  • Total Time

    1 hour 15 minutes

  • Yield

    Makes 4 cups

Ingredients

1 large egg white
2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
2 Tbsp. honey
1 Tbsp. Aleppo-style pepper (optional)
2 tsp. kosher salt
1 cup sunflower seeds
1/2 cup chia seeds
1/2 cup flaxseeds
1/2 cup raw sesame seeds

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Whisk egg white, oil, honey, pepper (if using), salt, and 1 Tbsp. water in a medium bowl to combine. Add sunflower seeds, chia seeds, flaxseeds, and sesame seeds and stir to coat. Let sit until liquid is absorbed, about 30 minutes.

    Step 2

    Preheat oven to 325°F. Spread seed mixture in an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake, stirring very gently after 10 minutes to encourage the mixture to form small clusters, until golden brown and crisp, 20–25 minutes. Let cool.

    Step 3

    Do Ahead: Sprinkle can be made 2 weeks ahead. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
