Lime zest and cayenne pepper in this pumpkin and sunflower seed granola help balance the sweetness of the pepper jelly, infusing the appetizer with a citrusy, spicy note that pairs beautifully with melty brie cheese. Serve hot with plantain chips and enjoy dipping them in the gooey cheese.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Preheat oven to 175°C.
  2. Combine coconut oil, agave syrup, red pepper jelly, lime juice, cayenne pepper, and a pinch of salt in a small saucepan and heat over medium heat. Cook, stirring, until smooth, 1-2 minutes.

  3. Combine all the seeds in a medium bowl; pour the pepper mixture over them. Stir to distribute evenly. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray with cooking spray. Spread the seeds on the baking sheet and bake, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 10 minutes.
  4. Remove the granola from the oven, sprinkle with lime zest, and stir. Let cool, then break into smaller pieces.
  5. Meanwhile, place the brie wheel on a separate baking sheet and bake until hot and melted inside, 7 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter; top with the remaining 1/4 cup pepper jelly, seed granola, and chopped cilantro. Serve with plantain chips.
