Preheat oven to 325. Lined a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large soup pot, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onions, ½ teaspoon salt and some black pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until onions are soft about 5-6 min. Add garlic and cook until onions begin to caramelize, another 5-6 min.

Spread the seeds in an even layer on the baking sheet. Bake for about 20 min until golden brown, stirring a few times.
