This snack is so addictive you may want to double the recipe for a crowd. The raw pumpkin seeds (pepitas) crisp up as they cool so don't be concerned if they seem soft when you pull them from the oven.
Ingredients
- 1 egg white
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp chili powder
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
- 2 cups raw pepitas, (green hulled pumpkin seeds)
Preparation
Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper or grease; set aside.
In bowl, beat egg white until soft peaks form, about 1 minute; beat in sugar, chili powder, cinnamon, salt and cayenne. Fold in pepitas to coat; spread evenly on prepared pans.
Bake in top and bottom thirds of 350°F (180°C) oven, stirring once and rotating and switching pans halfway through, until puffed and slightly darkened, about 20 minutes. Let cool on pan on rack; break up clumps. (Make-ahead: Store in airtight container for up to 2 days.)
