ROASTED PEPITAS - Recipe
I'm sorry, but roasted pepitas fresh from the oven, still popping and crackling?
THE BEST SNACK EVER.
- 1 cp fresh pepitas (hulled pumpkin seeds/the green inner bit)
- 1 tsp high heat oil (vegetable, peanut, avocado, ect)
- 1 tsp mixed spices (garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, ect)
- salt to taste
Seriously, any spice will work for this. If you want them sugary, go for it. Try your favorite flavor combinations. I don't even measure, just eyeball it all. You want shine and flavor on all the pepitas.
1) Line a baking sheet with foil and turn the oven to 325F.
2) Dump pepitas and spices in the middle
3) Add oil and stir together until all the pepitas are shiny
4) Spread the pepitas out in a single layer.
5) Bake at 325F for 10 minutes.
Done.
As the pepitas cool you'll hear them crackling and popping. It means they were fresh and are now cooked and tasty. Eat them by themselves, put them on a salad, share with you friends if you want. I put mine in a tiny dish meant for dipping sauces and eat them at my desk.
Pepitas have 5g of protein, are high in calcium, and have a ton of magnesium. Which means they taste good and are good for your body, will help with muscle cramps, and boost your mood. they also have phosphorous, copper, and zinc.
If you're having a bad day or want a snack to get you to your next meal, make some pepitas. They'll keep well in a jar on the counter for about a week. And, when you make them at home, you control your flavors and salt levels so you don't need to worry about that. Make them as spicy or mild as you want!
