Total Time 50 minutes mins
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups raw pepitas
Preheat your oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit.
Wash your pepitas in a mesh strainer. Pat them dry with a clean towel before adding the olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder and mix.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and carefully arrange the seeds in a single layer.
Put the sheet inside the oven and let the pepitas roast for about 45 minutes.
When they’ve turned a beautiful golden brown, take the baking sheet out of the oven.
Cool the pepitas on a plate lined with paper towels, and serve.
