Instructions
- Give the seeds a quick rinse in cold water to remove any dust, then drain them.
- Heat the water with the salt, star anise and Sichuan pepper in a saucepan, then bring to a boil for 5 minutes.
- Add the seeds to the salted water and let them simmer for 10 minutes so they soak up the flavor, then drain them thoroughly.
- Spread the seeds on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and let them dry for 10 minutes at room temperature.
- Bake at 160 °C (320 °F) for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes, until golden and dry to the touch.
- Let them cool completely before storing in an airtight jar.
Variations and tips
Spicy version. Add a pinch of chili powder and a little cumin before baking.
Sweet-salty version. Sprinkle with brown sugar as soon as they come out of the oven for a sweeter taste.
