Free Healthy Recipe - Spiced Roast Pepitas

Dairy free, Low carbohydrate, Wheat Free

At the end of the week when the office shuts down and staff congregate for drinks, why not offer these spiced pepitas as a snack. Compared to the nutritionally valueless flavoured chip, pepitas are a great source of protein, zinc, fibre, and beta-carotene, and roasted with a few spices taste terrific.

Ingredients
1 cup pepitas
1 tsp tea oil
1 tsp sea salt
¼ tsp cayenne
¼ tsp cumin, ground
Method

Pre heat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius.

Spread the pepitas on a baking sheet. Sprinkle the oil, sea salt and spices over them and using a large spoon stir through to ensure each seed is coated in the spice mix.
Place the seeds in the oven to roast for 6 minutes, turning the seeds over a couple of times to prevent burning.
Remove from the oven. Lay the seeds on another tray lined with absorbent paper and set aside to cool.

Note: Pepitas are delicate green seeds found inside the pumpkin kernel. They are believed to help alleviate symptoms of an enlarged prostate.
