Pepitas

These edible pumpkin seeds are a popular ingredient in Mexican cooking. With their white hull removed, they are a medium-dark green and have a deliciously delicate flavor, which is even better when the seeds are roasted and salted. Pepitas are sold salted, roasted and raw, and with or without hulls.

Combine oil, salt and pumpkin seeds in a bowl. Make sure all seeds are evenly coated. Spread the seeds in a shallow baking pan. Toast at 350F in an oven for 15 min, stirring once halfway though.
