Hi Dina, granted it may seem unhealthy to use oil but following a ketogenic diet, olive oil is a very useful cooking ingredients! It also will stop the seeds from burning and sticking to the pan during the process. If you would rather substitute it out, i would recommend pouring a small amount of water in the pan instead.
Delicious- I also added spinach.
Must be delicious but…with heated oil in a non-stick pan how healthy this could be?
