Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup raw pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, toss the pumpkin seeds with olive oil until evenly coated.
  3. Add the maple syrup, chili powder, salt, and cayenne pepper (if using). Stir well to ensure the seeds are fully coated.
  4. Spread the seasoned pumpkin seeds in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  5. Roast for 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the seeds are golden brown and fragrant.
  6. Let them cool completely on the baking sheet. They will become crispier as they cool.

Notes

  • Adjust chili powder and cayenne pepper to your spice preference.
  • Store cooled seeds in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
