Roasted Pepitas

Oven-roasted pepitas make a delicious, savory snack that you can season any way you like! I recommend using Porchetta seasoning to make these a bold, Italian flavored crunchy pepita snack.

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat over to 325 degrees F. Add porchetta seasoning to a mortar and pestle or spice grinder. Grind until you achieve a fine powder. The goal is to grind down the bigger spices like the rosemary and fennel so they stick to the pepitas.
    1 tablespoon porchetta seasoning
  • Combine pepitas, olive oil, and ground porchetta seasoning to a bowl. Stir until the pepitas are well coated.
    1 cup raw pepitas, 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil, 1 tablespoon porchetta seasoning
  • Spread the pepitas in an even layer on a baking sheet and sprinkle with a few pinches of salt and pepper (if necessary).
    salt and pepper, to taste
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes, giving the baking sheet a good shake halfway through.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet. They will pop and crackle for a minute or two. Eat and enjoy!
