Answer 1

You roast them!

Things You’ll Need:

Raw sunflower seeds (unshelled)

Large bowl

2 Quarts Water

1/4 Cup Salt

Rimmed baking sheet

Vegetable or canola oil (optional)

Seasoning (optional)

Step1Pour the raw, unshelled sunflower seeds into a colander and rinse them thoroughly. Stir 1/4 cup of salt into two quarts of water until dissolved. Add the seeds to the salted water, making sure the water completely covers the seeds. Allow the seeds to soak for 24 hours.

Step2Drain and rinse the seeds and then pat them dry with a clean dish towel. Spread them out in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet or jellyroll pan.

Step3Preheat your oven to 300 degrees F. Roast the seeds for 30 minutes, stirring them every 10 minutes. When the seeds are completely roasted, take the tray out of the oven and allow it to cool on a wire rack.

Step4To add a flavoring to the roasted seeds, toss them in a bit of vegetable or canola oil (start with one half teaspoon of oil per two cups of seed) and then sprinkle them with your favorite seasoning, such as garlic or cayenne powder. Store the seeds in a plastic container. They’ll stay fresh for several months.
