Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 cup Pepitas raw, dry, clean
  • 1 teaspoon neutral cooking oil generic cooking oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt or to taste

See note for spicy seed option

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325 F. Toss clean, dry, raw pepita seeds with oil and salt.
  2. Spread out seeds and roast on a pan that’s been sprayed with non-stick spray or lined with parchment.
  3. Roast for about 20 minutes until they are crisp. (see note)

Notes

  • When I’ve roasted pepitas, they have always popped when they’re almost done. It sounds a lot like corn popping . At that point they usually need about 5 more minutes to get a little crisper.  But I have heard that sometimes they don’t pop, so take a peek or a test nibble as needed.
  • For Spicy Pepitas, toss seeds in 1 1/2 Tablespoons lime juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 2 teaspoons chili powder, 2 teaspoons cumin.
