Ingredients
  

  • Pumpkin seeds
  • 2 tsp olive oil (for savory) or melted coconut oil, melted (for sweet)
  • 2 tsp spice blend (see below)

Savory Spice Blend:

  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • Pinch black pepper

Sweet Spice Blend:

  • 1/2 tsp pumpkin spice

  • 2 tsp coconut sugar
  • Pinch of sea salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C).Scoop out the pumpkin seeds and place them in a large bowl of water. The seeds will float to the top. Separate them from the pumpkin flesh, then wash and dry them using a colander. It’s okay if some flesh remains on the seeds.Lay the seeds in a single layer between clean kitchen towels or paper towels, pressing out any remaining liquid to ensure crispiness while roasting.Mix the spice blend and oil of your choice in a bowl, then toss in the pumpkin seeds until evenly coated.Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, spread the seeds in a single layer, and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until crispy and golden.Allow them to cool for five minutes before serving. Store in an airtight container for up to two weeks. Enjoy 🤍

Notes

Tip: Roasted pumpkin seeds are incredibly versatile, so feel free to experiment with different seasonings like cinnamon for a sweet version or chili powder for a spicy kick. Make sure to dry the seeds thoroughly before roasting to get them crispy. You can store them in an airtight container for up to a week!

Pistachio Chicken Recipe FAQs

Can I use a different nut?

The sweet/salty flavor of the pistachios is what really makes this recipe great. I do not recommend using a different nut. If you want to make homemade chicken nuggets, try this recipe.

How do I know when my chicken is done?

I suggest using an instant read thermometer so you know when the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 160 degrees F and you can be sure they are fully cooked.

Can I double this recipe?

Yes, this recipe is easily doubled or even tripled to serve a crowd.
