Crunchy Salad Topper
Lend some extra yumminess to your favorite bowl of salad with this easy crunchy salad topper that you can batch make in just 15 minutes!
Ingredients
- 1 cup almonds
- ½ cup sunflower seeds
- ½ cup watermelon seeds
- ½ cup pumpkin seeds
- ¼ cup flaxseeds
- 1 teaspoon cayenne
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- ⅛ teaspoon pepper
- 1 tablespoon oil
Instructions
- Thinly slice the almonds using a sharp knife.
- Add to a mixing bowl with the other seeds and seasonings.
- Pour in the oil.
- Mix well to coat all the seeds and almonds.
- Arrange on an Air Fryer liner in a single layer.
- Air fry for 10-15 minutes or until crispy.
Don't wait for the seeds to become dark brown in the Air Fryer. Get them out once they're lightly golden- they will continue to cook and crisp as they cool down.
Notes
- Arrange the salad topper mixture in a single layer on the Air Fryer liner. Work in batches if necessary, but if you dump too many of them together, they'll trap moisture and won't turn out as crispy.
- Shake the basket or stir the seed mixture a couple of times to ensure even cooking.
- Don't overbrown the seeds- they'll end up burning and will turn bitter. If your Air Fryer runs hot, start checking at 8–10 minutes.
- Allow the salad topper to cool completely on the liner or a plate before storing.
