These hulled pumpkin seeds are tossed with lime juice for zing and chili powder for spice (we like arbol for its extra kick), and then toasted into a crunchy-and addictive- appetizer or snack. Counter the heat by washing them down with a refreshing Mexican beer.

SUGAR AND SPICE PEPITAS
Great munchies for a party, or just to keep around to snack on or sprinkle over a salad. Don't think of pumpkin seeds just as a Halloween treat--they taste delicious and have many health benefits as well. Adjust the cayenne to suit your own taste and heat tolerance (I used the full amount and next time will probably add more). Adapted from Bon Appetit.

Tips:
- Choose the right pepitas. Look for raw, hulled pepitas. Avoid roasted or salted pepitas, as they will not taste as good in this recipe.
- Toast the pepitas before using them. This will help to bring out their flavor and make them more crunchy. To toast the pepitas, spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and fragrant.
- Use a variety of spices. The spices in this recipe are just a suggestion. Feel free to experiment with different spices, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, or cloves. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little bit of heat.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. When you are cooking the pepitas, make sure to spread them out in a single layer in the pan. If you overcrowd the pan, the pepitas will not cook evenly.
- Be patient. It takes a little bit of time to cook the pepitas until they are crispy. Don't be tempted to rush the process, or you will end up with chewy pepitas.
Conclusion:
Fall spiced pepitas are a delicious and healthy snack that is perfect for the fall season. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. So next time you are looking for a healthy snack, give fall spiced pepitas a try.
