How can I use a lot of Sesame Seeds?
I have a lot of sesame seeds in my house that I would like to use. Does anyone have any ideas for recipes that call for a lot of sesame seeds? I prefer something healthy as well. Thanks!

Sesame chicken!
yummm!
Asian foods use a good bit of them , or buns.
If you have a LOT of them you may consider making sesame oil from them , it’s very good for cooking + fragrant too.
i hope you don’t have a mandatory drug test any time soon
try making sesame candy, that’s good stuff!!
2 cups sesame seeds
1 1/4 cups honey
Directions:
In a heavy pan, cook the honey and sesame seeds together gently for about 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until the mixture is golden brown. Test in cold water – when a soft ball is formed, the sweet is ready. Pour onto a marble slab or greased pan. Use a rolling pin to flatten mass to about 12-inch thickness. As the candy cools, cut into sticks about 3-inches long and 1/2-inch wide. Wrap the sticks individually in waxed paper and store in a tin box.
Sprinkle them all over a salad. YUM! You could also bake them into cookies or a bread.
Sesame seeds are awesome in a stir-fry and that would be a good way to use a lot up at one time.
