Categories     appetizer

Yield 6 appetizer servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 cups pumpkin seeds
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 1/2 tablespoons ancho chili powder
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon chile de arbol powder

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Place the pumpkin seeds in a large bowl and toss with the oil, ancho powder, salt, and chile de arbol powder. Spread evenly on a baking sheet and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring once. Let cool and store in an airtight container.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pumpkin seeds: For the best results, use raw, hulled pumpkin seeds. Avoid pre-roasted or salted seeds, as they will not crisp up as well.
  • Rinse the seeds thoroughly: This will remove any dirt or debris from the seeds.
  • Dry the seeds completely: Use a paper towel or a salad spinner to remove as much moisture from the seeds as possible. This will help them crisp up in the oven.
  • Use a variety of seasonings: Experiment with different seasonings to find your favorite combination. Some popular options include chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  • Roast the seeds until they are crispy: The roasting time will vary depending on the size of the seeds and the temperature of your oven. Be sure to keep an eye on the seeds so that they do not burn.
  • Let the seeds cool completely: Once the seeds are roasted, let them cool completely before storing them. This will help them to retain their crispiness.

Conclusion:

Fiery pumpkin seeds are a delicious and healthy snack that is perfect for fall. They are easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. With a little planning, you can enjoy this tasty treat all season long.
