    OBSESSED.

    I am obsessed with these pumpkin seeds. Little sweet, little spice, little lime-tang.

    See why I’m obsessed?

    If you have never roasted your own pumpkin seeds, you are missing out. This recipe and sweet-spice combination is just perfect and I highly recommend using this recipe when you roast your own seeds.

    I gave instructions on how to store any that you don’t eat…but my guess is that the entire bowl will be demolished in one shot 😉

    Chili Lime Pumpkin Seeds

    Pumpkin seeds have never been better!
    Prep Time5 minutes
    Cook Time3 minutes
    Servings - 8 servings

    Ingredients 

    • 2 tsp coconut oil
    • 2 Tbsp turbinado sugar (brown sugar would also work)
    • 1 tsp chili powder
    • 2 cups pumpkin seeds
    • 2 limes, zested and juiced

    Instructions

    • In a medium saute pan, heat the coconut oil over medium high heat.
    • Stir in turbinado sugar or brown sugar, chili powder, and pumpkin seeds and combine all ingredients until the seeds are evenly coated.
    • Cook on medium high heat until seeds are light golden brown and the sugar is lightly caramelized. This will happen very quickly. Watch closely and stir continually to prevent overcooking.
    • Remove from heat and stir in lime juice and zest.
    • Spread onto parchment paper to cool completely.
    • Enjoy at room temperature. If you have any left over, store in an airtight container for up to a week at room temperature.
