Grilled Sunflower

Recipe:

Pick sunflower while seeds are still white and easily squish between your fingers- if they’re darkening it’s too ripe.

Remove the flower buds by running your hand over the center and expose the seeds. Remove petals, Wash head under cold water, & pat dry.

Cover seeds with:

Olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, & whatever other seasonings your heart desires. (A lot of flexibility here- no measuring)

place on heated grill seed side down and cover. Cook 10-15 minutes on medium high heat or until grill marks appear golden.

Top with mayo, cotija, cilantro, squeeze of lime & tajin. (Elote style) You can eat it like corn, or with a fork.

-You can top with whatever you want when done cooking, easy to experiment with.

-Similar to corn with a nutty flavor.

-if your seeds are dark it’s too late, you want a newly opened flower with developed seeds that are still fully white and soft.
