Spicy Roasted Pumpkin Seeds

Servings: 4
Prep Time: 5 mins
Cook Time: 15–20 mins

Ingredients:

• 1 cup raw pumpkin seeds (pepitas)

• 1 tbsp olive oil or melted coconut oil

• 1 tsp smoked paprika

• ½ tsp chili powder (adjust to taste)

• ½ tsp garlic powder

• ½ tsp onion powder

• ¼ tsp cayenne pepper (optional, for extra heat)

• ½ tsp salt

• 1 tsp lime zest or ½ tsp lime juice (optional, for brightness)

Instructions:

1. Prep Seeds: Rinse pumpkin seeds (if fresh from a pumpkin) and pat dry. Skip if using store-bought raw pepitas.

2. Season: Toss seeds with oil and all spices until evenly coated.

3. Roast: Spread on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 15–20 mins, stirring halfway, until golden and crispy.

4. Cool: Let cool completely—they’ll crisp up further!

Why Pumpkin Seeds Rock:

🌟 Crunchy & nutritious: Packed with magnesium, zinc, and plant-based protein.
🔥 Customizable: Swap spices for cinnamon-sugar (sweet version) or curry powder.
🌮 Use them everywhere: Sprinkle on soups, oatmeal, or blend into pesto.
