Spicy Roasted Pumpkin Seeds (Pepitas)

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 400 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.

2. 2

   In a medium saucepan or pot, bring pumpkin seeds, water and salt to a boil -- approximately 2 cups water for every 1/2 cup pumpkin seeds and 1/2 tsp salt for every cup of water. (See notes). Bring to a boil, simmer for 10 minutes, drain and discard water.

3. 3

   Arrange seeds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. If there is not enough room, prepare a second sheet or roast in batches.

4. 4

   Combine dry ingredients in a small bowl. Sprinkle spice mixture over the seeds and roast for 20-25 minutes or until seeds are golden brown and fragrant, stirring once or twice halfway through.

5. 5

   Allow seeds to cool slightly (5-10 minutes) and enjoy! Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
