Ingredients

  • 1 small lime
  • 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 cup fresh pumpkin seeds (rinsed and dried (See Cook's Tip))
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. Zest lime and set zest aside. Juice lime and place juice in a small bowl. Add olive oil to juice and whisk to blend. Add pumpkin seeds. Toss well.
  3. Sprinkle with cumin, cayenne, and salt. Toss to evenly distribute seasoning.
  4. Use a slotted spoon to drain and remove seeds from bowl. Spread in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Discard any extra liquid.
  5. Roast 10 to 15 minutes, until toasted to your liking. Sprinkle with lime zest and toss.

Cook Tips

Remove as much moisture as possible from the seeds. Spread them on a clean, lint-free towel or a double layer of paper towels and pat dry. Or, place them in a double layer of paper grocery bags with a few paper towels, fold the top closed, and shake to dry.
