Seeds are highly nutritious and supportive of our health, so I like to include them in my diet on a daily basis. ‘Tamari Toasted Seeds’ involves either baking or grilling (known as broiling in North America) with a splash of tamari. Cooking in this way brings out a delicious depth of flavour, making them very more-ish.
These work well as…
- a snack for nibbling
- sprinkles on salads
- a tasty, nutritious garnish for soups or stews
Tamari toasted seeds are exceedingly simple
This is a simple snack. Surprisingly delicious.
Do remember to chew your seeds well, to speed up the breaking down process and allow for maximum absorption of their beneficial nutrients.
You can also make this without tamari – although the tamari is a great addition to give this snack a gently salty edge.
This has to be the easiest treat ever only requiring shelled sunflower and pumpkin seeds and a splash of tamari or shoyu. It’s THAT easy!
- Place a pile of sunflower seeds on a baking tray about 1cm deep (less than a half-inch).
- Sprinkle a light splash of tamari over the seeds and mix in.
- Place under a grill (broiler) at medium heat and mix in regularly for about 7 minutes to ensure that they are evenly grilled.
- Alternatively, place in a pre-heated oven at gas mark 6 (200C/400F) and mix in a few times over a baking period of about 20 minutes.
- Pumpkin seeds will ‘pop’ to indicated that they are ready and need to be mixed in. Otherwise, be vigilant to make sure you don’t burn the seeds.

Wow — so simple! I ♥ tamari roasted almonds and pumpkin seeds, but never attempted to make my own. Thanks for the recipe!
Sometimes it’s the simple things in life 🙂 How wonderful that we can inspired one another ♥
These are a fave of mine, I’ve been making a slightly different way. I put miniscule of olive oil in pan then fry til golden. Immediate take off stove and add organic low salt tamari…beware of steaming yourself!! The tamari evaporates and becomes a super yummy slightly sticky coating. The nuts I use are a sunflower and sesame mix. Robyn
Yes, that sounds like a tasty way to do it if you like a bit more of sticky 🙂
