Place the sunflower seeds in a medium bowl and cover them with water. Keep the seeds in water for almost 15-20 minutes to remove the salt totally. If you want some salt, you can shorten the time.
Pour the sunflower seeds and water through the colander. Wash the sunflower seeds with pure water. Let them drain in the colander for 15 minutes. Place them on a paper towel and cover with paper towel again to let them dry.
Place the sunflower seeds (they may not be completely dry, that's ok) on a baking sheet that is covered with parchment paper. Spread them as a single layer without overlapping and bake in the preheated oven at 400°F (205°C) for 15 minutes or until they are crunchy. Check the oven in the middle of this process and stir them with a spoon so they won’t burn.
