Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup raw pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for heat)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the raw pumpkin seeds, olive oil, chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper (if using), and salt. Mix well to coat the seeds evenly with the spices.
Spread the seasoned pumpkin seeds in a single layer onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded to allow even roasting.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 12-15 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking. Keep a close eye on the seeds to prevent burning.
Once the seeds are golden brown and aromatic, remove them from the oven and sprinkle with fresh lime juice for a tangy finish.
Allow the seeds to cool completely on the baking sheet before transferring them to an airtight container for storage. Enjoy as a snack or topping for soups and salads!
