I love pepitas! Not only are they tasty, but they are also a great source of zinc….which is very important for a strong immune system! The turmeric also has anti-inflammatory effects on the body. These spiced pumpkin seeds taste amazing on a salad or your favorite cream-soup!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup raw pepitas — where to find
- 1 tsp turmeric — where to find
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1 tsp garlic
- 1 tsp curry powder — where to find
Directions:
- Soak seeds in filtered water for 7 hours to break down the anti-nutrients
- Mix spices
- Drain seeds and combine with spices
- Spread on dehydrator trays
- Dehydrate in a dehydrator at 145 until crisp, or you can also use an oven set to the lowest heat setting. Enjoy!

Do you have a good article on soaking? I don’t understand the benefits, but would love to know. Thank you!

Hi! I’m visiting from Party Wave Wednesday at Holistic Squid. I can’t wait to try these yummy seeds, my son has a nut allergy so pumpkin seeds are a perfect healthy snack for him and what a great way to utilizing all of the pumpkin!
Hi, I’m checking in from the Simply Natural Saturdays at Pistachio Project – LOVE this recipe, thanks! A friend just harvest about 20 pumpkins, so she’ll be happy to get the link over here.
these look so yummy! Thanks for sharing on The HomeAcre Hop! Hope to see you again today 🙂
How does this work in an oven for those of us who don’t have dehydrators? These look great, thanks!
Just use a low oven setting, and watch them carefully. When you hear them start to pop, they are done!
Thank you!
This is a great idea my husband does not believe in healthy eating he is like a baby so I substitute this instead of his greasy peanuts and chickpeas. Thank you Kate.
Awesome! Glad you like them 🙂
