Spicy Roasted Pepitas

Recipe by Veronika | thehealthfulideas

These Spicy Roasted Pepitas are perfect for salads, on top of soups, or for snacking! Ready in just 20 minutes! They're spicy, smoky, and savory.

  • Total Time20 minutes
  • Yield1 cup 1x
  • DietVegan

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cup pepitas (or pumpkin seeds)
  • 2 tsp avocado oil
  • 1 tsp coarsely ground sea salt or Himalayan pink salt
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder (garlic granules)
  • 1/8 tsp chipotle powder (or to taste, optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350F (175C). Prepare a large baking sheet (I used 13x10”).
  2. In a medium bowl, mix together the pepitas and avocado oil.
  3. Sprinkle with sea salt, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and chipotle powder.
  4. Mix well to coat evenly with seasoning.
  5. Spread the pepitas on a baking sheet. The more space they have better they’ll toast.
  6. Roast in the oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden.
  7. Allow the pepitas to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a plate or a bowl. Enjoy!

Notes

You can line the baking sheet with parchment paper but it’s not necessary.

If you make a smaller batch, the cooking time will change too. Half batch only needs 8-10 minutes.

Store the roasted pepitas in an airtight container in the fridge for 1-2 weeks.
