Notes
- If you're sensitive to spice, you can use black pepper instead of cayenne.
- Raw, unsalted pumpkin seeds (also called pepitas) can be hard to find sometimes. Look in the bulk bin section of your grocery store. Roasted unsalted pepitas will work fine—they won't burn.
- It's imperative that you let the nuts cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
