I like to eat melon seeds, especially the spiced ones. The last time I made them was hand-fried in a wok, it was very tiring. So I thought about using an oven to bake the five-spice melon seeds. The key to baking this way is that you don’t get tired of your arms because you don’t need electricity. The advantage of baking in the oven is that it tastes better than fried when it is not dirty.
