Toasted Pumpkin Seeds (Pepitas)

Ingredients:

1/4 cup raw pumpkin seeds

1/2 tsp. avocado oil

1/2 tsp sea salt

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/4 tsp ground black pepper

sprinkle of cayenne pepper, optional

These pumpkin seeds are great for topping a salad, soup, or just snacking on alone. They have a robust salt and pepper flavor. If you are wanting more of a kick you can add a sprinkle of cayenne pepper. I would probably reduce the ground black pepper if you are going to add the cayenne.

Instructions:

1.Preheat oven to 350 degrees

2. Toss the pumpkin seeds with the oil and place on a baking dish in a single layer

3. Bake for 15 minutes, stirring occassionally

4. Remove from oven and toss with salt, garlic powder, and black pepper

5. Let cool

Enjoy!
