Superfood Toppings

Toast seeds (optional)
Heat a small dry skillet over medium heat. Add the pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds. Toast, stirring frequently, until they begin to pop lightly and turn fragrant and golden at the edges, about 3–4 minutes. Remove from heat to prevent burning.

Season seeds
While still warm, transfer the toasted seeds to a small bowl. Drizzle with the olive oil, sprinkle with smoked paprika, and toss to coat. If you like a touch of sweetness to contrast the pomegranate, add the optional honey or maple syrup and mix briefly.

Assemble and garnish
Spoon the prepared guacamole into a shallow serving bowl and smooth the top. Sprinkle the seasoned pumpkin and sunflower seeds evenly over the guacamole. Scatter the pomegranate seeds on top for bursts of color and tartness. If desired, finish with an extra pinch of flaky sea salt and a small drizzle of olive oil.

Serve
Serve immediately with tortilla chips, vegetable crudités, or whole-grain crackers. If you must store it, cover the surface with plastic wrap to minimize air exposure and refrigerate for up to 24 hours; add toppings just before serving to keep them crunchy.
