Recipe saved the day - Bought raw pepitas by mistake!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I bought raw pepitas by mistake (my husband is the pepita fan, but prefers them roasted) and this recipe saved the day. He... suggested I roast the raw seeds and add some cayenne. Of course, I turned immediately to food network.com for a recipe. I generally don't even like pepitas, but LOVED them roasted this way. Another keeper! P.S. I used a baking sheet and roasted them in the oven at 375 instead of on the stovetop.Read more
