Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350 F.
  • In a bowl, toss the pumpkin seeds with the melted fat, chili powder, sea salt and cayenne pepper;
    3 cups raw pumpkin seeds, 2 tablespoon cooking fat, 1 ½ tablespoon chili powder, 1 tablespoon sea salt, 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • Spread on a baking sheet and bake for about 10 minutes.
  • Let cool and serve or store in the refrigerator in an air-tight container. Most recipes call for a liquid vegetable oil, but good cooking fat will harden when chilled in the refrigerator, giving the seeds another texture, but leaving them absolutely delicious.
