Ingredients
- Shelled sunflower seeds 1 oz oz
- Orange 1 medium
Method
-
Prepare the orange.
Wash the orange thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or residues. Using a sharp knife, carefully peel the orange by cutting off the skin and white pith. Once peeled, separate the orange into individual slices or segments.
Tip: To make peeling easier, roll the orange gently on the countertop with your palm to loosen the skin before peeling. -
Measure the sunflower seeds.
Using a kitchen scale, measure out 1 ounce (28.4 grams) of shelled sunflower seeds. If you do not have a scale, this is roughly 1/4 cup of shelled sunflower seeds.
Tip: Use unsalted, raw or dry roasted sunflower seeds for the best flavor and nutrition. -
Serve and enjoy.
Place the orange slices on a plate and sprinkle the measured sunflower seeds on top or serve them on the side. This combination can be eaten as a quick snack or light breakfast.
Tip: For added texture, you can lightly toast the sunflower seeds in a dry pan over medium heat for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Pro tips
- To keep sunflower seeds fresh, store them in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.
- If you prefer sweeter orange slices, you can sprinkle a tiny pinch of cinnamon or drizzle a little honey on top.
