    Cup of Yum
  1. Roast the sunflower seeds: Heat a small pan over medium heat. Add the seeds and roast them, shaking the pan often, until they're fragrant and golden, which should take about 2 minutes. Keep an eye on them constantly to prevent burning. Transfer them right away to a plate and let them cool while you get everything else ready.1½ tablespoons sunflower seeds
  2. Blend the avocado pieces, garlic clove, lemon juice, and all the spices in a small blender. Alternatively, crust the avocado with a fork and stir in the grated garlic, lemon juice, and spices. 2 medium avocados + 2 tablespoons lemon juice + 1 garlic clove + ¼ teaspoon of red chili flakes + ¼ teaspoon ground coriander + ½ teaspooon ground cumin + ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt + ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  3. Adjust the taste to your liking, you could add more lemon juice and more chili flakes or cayenne pepper.
  4. Stir about ¾ of the sunflower seeds into the spread and use the rest to top the avocado dip.

Notes

  • The avocado spread is best served immediately or within hours after preparing it. It'll still taste good for up to 2 days, but keep in mind avocados can turn brown over time.

  • For sunflower seeds, use raw ones that you'll roast in a pan. You can leave them out and make simple and delicious guacamole instead.
