This had a good flavor. I love sunflower seeds, but not the salt, so I used no salt seeds. I probably sliced mine a bit thick, so they weren't quite so "crisp." Thinner ones would crisp up nicely.

These were pretty good - and loved that I could prepare ahead of time. Took no time to slice, cook and take into work the next morning. I also prepared Garlic Cheese Spread to go with this, which was very good.
