Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350° F. Line a jelly roll tin with foil.
Dump the pumpkin seeds on the jelly roll tin.
In a small dish, mix together the coconut oil, lime juice, chili powder, paprika, and cayenne.
Slowly pour the seasoning mixture over the pumpkin seeds, stirring constantly. Make sure they’re all evenly coated.
Stick ’em in the oven, and set the timer for 5 minutes. When it beeps, stir them again, and put them back for another 5 minutes. Try one! If they’re still a little underdone, stir again, and give them a final 5 minutes.
When they’re done roasting, sprinkle with salt to taste, and let cool. Store in a tightly-lidded container.
