Chili-Lime Roasted Pumpkin Seeds




Yields8 Servings

 2 cups raw pumpkin seeds
 1 tsp olive oil
 1 lime (zested & juiced)
 ½ tsp salt
 ½ tsp black pepper
 1 tbsp chilli powder

1

Before you roast the seeds, you must separate them from the pumpkin. Once you have scooped them out, put them into a large bowl of water and that helps to loosen the pulp so you can pick out the strings and pumpkin pieces.

2

Bring a few cups of filtered water to boil and add the seeds. Make sure water covers the seeds. Boil for 10 minutes.

3

Drain the seeds and pat dry with paper towels or a dish towel. They won’t be completely dry.

4

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

5

Mix the lime juice, zest, salt, pepper, and chili powder in a bowl and add the pumpkin seeds. Stir until they are evenly coated.

6

Place them on a baking sheet in one layer as much as possible.

7

Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes (or until they become crispy golden brown). Stir them halfway through.

8

When they have cooled, store them in an air-tight container for up to a week.
