Yield 1 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups pepitas (raw hulled green pumpkin seeds)
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
3 to 4 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice

Steps:

Mix lime juice, pepper, cayenne and salt and stir until dissolved. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add pepita seeds and toss frequently until seeds begin to turn light golden and expand. Add seasoned lime juice all at once and stir well to coat all seeds. Remove from heat and cool in the pan.Serve at room temperature.
Also great in salads for a crunchy texture.

Tips:

Choose fresh limes: The fresher the limes, the more flavorful your nuts will be. Look for limes that are green and plump, with no blemishes.
Use a variety of nuts: This recipe is versatile and can be made with any type of nut. Try using a mix of almonds, walnuts, pecans, and cashews.
Toast the nuts before adding the lime mixture: Toasting the nuts brings out their flavor and makes them more crispy.
Don't overcrowd the pan when toasting the nuts: If you overcrowd the pan, the nuts will not toast evenly.
Be careful not to burn the nuts: Keep a close eye on the nuts while they are toasting and stir them frequently.
Let the nuts cool completely before storing them: This will help them to stay crispy.

Conclusion:

Lime toasted nuts are a delicious and easy snack that can be enjoyed on their own or added to salads, yogurt, or trail mix. They are also a great gift for friends and family.
