Wash and dry melon seeds. Toss them in a mixture of oil, salt, and your favourite spices like peri peri or garlic powder.
Grind melon seeds into a fine powder in a blender. Use this powder in your smoothies and shakes.
Grind the seeds to create a fine, flour-like consistency and mix it into the batter. Use this flour as a substitute for regular flour in recipes while baking muffins, cookies, or cakes.
Sprinkle a handful of seeds over your fruit or vegetable salad to add texture and some nutty taste.
If you are looking for vegan milk options then you can consider melon seed milk. Soak melon seeds in water overnight. Next day, drain and rinse the seeds, then blend them with fresh water. Use a ratio of 1 cup of seeds to 4 cups of water until smooth. Strain the mixture through a cheesecloth.
