Chili Lime Roasted Pepitas

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 325°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a bowl, toss the pepitas with the olive oil, chili powder, cayenne pepper, and lime zest until evenly coated.

Step 3

Spread the pepitas in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 4

Roast for 12-15 minutes, stirring halfway through, until fragrant and lightly golden.

Step 5

Remove from the oven and immediately toss with the lime juice while still warm.

Step 6

Let cool completely on the pan before serving; the pepitas will crisp further as they cool.
