Chili Lime Roasted Pumpkin Seeds

I usually prefer the salty, savory kind of pumpkin seed like my worcestershire sauce and sea salt. Or if I want a slightly sweet pumpkin seed I’ll reach for my pumpkin spice and coconut sugar. Recently, I wanted some with a bit of a kick so I made these chili lime roasted pumpkin seeds.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups fresh pumpkin seeds
• 1 tsp fine sea salt
• 1 tsp chili powder
• 3 TBSP coconut oil, melted
• 1 tsp fresh lime juice
• 1 tsp fresh lime zest

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
2. Prepare a baking sheet with either parchment paper or by lightly oiling.
3. In a strainer, wash pumpkin seeds to remove pulp from the pumpkin.
4. Pat dry with paper towels or spread out on a kitchen towel and allow to air dry.
5. After drying, place pumpkin seeds in a medium sized bowl.
6. In a separate bowl mix melted coconut oil, chili powder, lime juice, lime zest, and sea salt.
7. Pour liquid mixture over dry pumpkin seeds and toss to combine.
8. Spread pumpkin seeds on baking sheet.
9. Bake for 15 minutes, stir, and then bake for an additional 15 minutes.
10. Bump the oven temperature up to 325 degrees and bake for 5 minutes to get them nice an crispy.

Let cool before enjoying!
