Spiced, roasted pepitas…
Check out CrossFit Games 2011 this weekend - you can stream them live. Stellar athletes performing killer WODS - um, better get your swim on this year! Yikes...
Roasted and spiced pumpkin seeds are awesome and great for you! For nutritional information, check here. Lots of valuable stuff in these small seeds, no? They are a nice addition to salads, stews and are just a perfect snack...you could add them to a paleo trail mix, too. We buy ours at Trader Joe's (we really could use a TJ's here in the 'burg...hmmm). Here is how we made them:
Roasted Pumpkin Seeds:
Preheat oven to 250 degrees. In a bowl, mix 2 or 3 cups raw pumpkin seeds with about 1/4 C EVOO, 1 tsp garlic powder and salt/fresh ground pepper to taste (you can season them however you like so be creative!). Spread onto a baking sheet and bake for about 25 or 30 minutes - be sure to toss the seeds often so that they don't burn. The seeds make really interesting crackling noises as they cool down...yum...
Tasty!
