Prepare the Orange.
Wash the orange thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or residues. Using a sharp knife, peel the orange carefully, removing all the white pith. Then, separate the orange into individual sections or slices, removing any seeds if present.
Tip: Peeling the orange over a bowl will catch any juice that drips, which you can enjoy or add to the dish. -
Measure the Mixed Seeds.
Take 2 tablespoons of mixed seeds, including pumpkin and sunflower seeds. You can use raw or roasted seeds, but ensure they are unsalted to keep the snack healthy.
Tip: If you prefer a crunchier texture, lightly toast the seeds in a dry pan over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently to avoid burning. -
Combine and Serve.
Place the orange sections on a small plate or bowl. Sprinkle the measured mixed seeds evenly over the orange. This combination enhances the flavor and adds a delightful crunch to the juicy fruit.
Tip: Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh texture and flavors.
Pro tips
- Use fresh, ripe oranges for the best sweetness and juiciness.
- Lightly toasting the seeds enhances their flavor but avoid over-toasting to prevent bitterness.
