| | | Pumpkin seeds!
1 tsp or more EV olive oil
2 cloves garlic
1/2 lb pumpkin seeds, the green, peeled kind known as pepitas.
cayenne or other dried ground red pepper and salt, to taste
1 TBS lemon juice
saute garlic in olive oil, add red pepper, pumpkin seeds salt and roast until brown.
I use extra red pepper so it will slow my progress -- they are yummy and ADDICTIVE! Oh and they are a great dietary source of magnesium too.

| | | I love pumpkin seeds, shell & all, and I used to roast 'em when we grew pumpkins. Is this calling for 1/2 lb. of shelled or unshelled seeds?

| | | The shelled green kind. Yes you do go thru them faster than ones with the shells on ... but I eat them like nuts -- in weighted portions!

| | Gotcha. Maybe I can sneak these into DH's meals occasionally too . . . he turns up his nose at the generic green ones . . .
