Step 1
Start by soaking the sunflower seeds in a bowl of water, making sure they're fully covered. Let them sit for about 8 hours, then drain off the water. Next, toss the soaked sunflower seeds into a food processor along with the chopped celery, olive oil, lemon zest and juice, thyme, garlic, black pepper, and a pinch of sea salt. Blend everything until you get a smooth, creamy spread. Grab a collard green leaf and spread a generous amount of the sunflower seed pate onto it. Roll up the leaf around the filling, and you're ready to enjoy!

How to serve
Serve these wraps chilled or at room temperature for a light lunch or snack. Pair them with a crisp side salad or some fresh fruit for a balanced meal. They also make a great portable option for picnics or packed lunches.
Storage & leftovers
Store any leftover sunflower seed spread in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Keep the collard leaves wrapped in a damp paper towel inside a plastic bag to maintain freshness. Assemble the wraps just before serving to prevent sogginess.
