Yesterday my husband and I went to the Strip District. One of our favorite places to go is Lotus which is a Asian market.You never know what you find there. One thing you can guarantee is a good price (Ground Wasabi for 1.9 oz for $1.69). The store had a plethora of Asian spices. One item I couldn’t resist was the was ground Wasabi.

The night before I had roasted a very large acorn squash from our local farmer’s market. I had the seeds drying out at home. There is about a half of cup of seeds in a large acorn squash and I didn’t want those nutrition powerhouses to go to waste when you can either plant them next year in the garden or snack on them. Seeds and nuts are a great snack to keep in a sealable baggie or small airtight container in your purse or desk at work. Standing in the store in amazement is when it came to me that I had to try the two together.

Ingredients:
1/2 cup of raw dried squash seeds (One large acorn squash work)
Pinch of kosher salt (breakdown between fingers over the seeds)
Cooking spray (I prefer canola oil)
1/8 teaspoon of ground wasabi
Actifry

Directions:

1. Place all ingredients in Actifry. Spray seeds heavily with cooking spray.

2. Set timer for 10 minutes on actifry.

You may hear some seeds popping (sort of sounds like popcorn) but that’s okay.

3. Once timer goes off open vessel and allow seeds too cool.

Enjoy!
