Delight in the Unexpected: Melon Seeds Dessert in a Minute

1 cup of fresh melon seeds

A pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg (optional)

A drizzle of honey or a splash of vanilla extract for extra flavor (optional)

Instructions:

Clean the Seeds: Start by rinsing the melon seeds to remove any fruit residue. Pat them dry with a towel.

Roast the Seeds: Spread the seeds on a baking sheet in a single layer. Toast them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 to 15 minutes or until they are golden and crunchy. Watch carefully to avoid burning.

Season: Once roasted, while still warm, toss the seeds with a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg, and a drizzle of honey or a splash of vanilla extract, if using. This step is optional but adds a lovely flavor to the seeds.

Enjoy: Let the seeds cool and enjoy them as a crunchy, healthy dessert.

Serving Suggestions:

Sprinkle these flavored melon seeds over yogurt, blend them into your smoothies, or simply enjoy them on their own as a nutritious snack.
