Ingredients
  

Main ingredients

  • 1 cup raw pumpkin seeds fresh from the pumpkin
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil can substitute with avocado oil
  • 1.5 teaspoons chili powder use your favorite, mild or spicy
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice fresh is best, but bottled can work
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest just the green part
  • 0.75 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 pinch cayenne optional, for added spice
  • 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder adds flavor

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Remove pumpkin seeds from the pumpkin and rinse them well to remove any stringy bits.
  • Dry the seeds on a towel for a few minutes to ensure they are crispy after roasting.
  • In a bowl, combine the pumpkin seeds, olive oil, lime zest, lime juice, chili powder, kosher salt, cayenne, and garlic powder.
  • Mix with your hands to ensure the seasoning evenly coats the seeds.

Roasting

  • Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
  • Spread the seasoned seeds in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  • Roast on the middle rack for about 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through.
  • Check for doneness, looking for a golden brown color and a toasty aroma.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. Reheat in a 300°F oven for a few minutes if they become stale.
