Ingredients

  • 10 ounce carrot
  • 7 ounce baby spinach
  • 9 ounce red bell pepper
  • 9 ounce cucumber
  • 24 ounce green pea
  • 10 tablespoon sunflower seeds
  • 2 1/2 ounce onion
  • 5 clove garlic

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F

  • In a food processor or blender pulse sunflower seeds for 30 sec, until they're roughly chopped. Add the peas and pulse until mixture is well combined.
