Roasted Spicy Pumpkin Seeds
Description
This recipe begins with rinsed pumpkin seeds tossed in olive oil or melted vegan butter along with soy sauce and cayenne pepper for a balance of savory, spicy, and umami flavors. After seasoning with garlic powder and salt, the seeds are spread on a baking sheet and roasted at 350°F for 30 to 35 minutes. Shaking the pan halfway through helps crisp the seeds evenly and prevents burning. The result is pumpkin seeds with a roasted exterior seasoned to have a gentle heat and garlicky note.
These roasted seeds can be enjoyed as a snack on their own or sprinkled over salads and soups for a crunchy texture. The simple seasoning and thorough roasting maximize flavor without overpowering the natural nuttiness of the seeds.
