Ingredients

  • aluminum foil
  • 1 cup butternut squash seeds or other hard squash seeds

  • chili powder to taste
  • sea salt to taste

Directions

Step 1
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

Step 2
Clean pumpkin seeds so there are no strings or pulp attached to them. Pat dry or let air dry in a strainer.

Step 3
Spread seeds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle seeds lightly with olive oil and stir to coat evenly. Sprinkle lightly with chili powder and sea salt.

Step 4
Bake, stirring every 5 minutes, until just slightly golden, about 15 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool.
