Preparing a snack of toasted pumpkin seeds Nuggets is easy, you can toast them with any of these three methods, read the step by step below.

We continue with pumpkin recipes, as you should know I don't like to waste anything, so after making the cheese cake with pumpkin, I saved the seedlings to prepare some toasted pumpkin seeds "Pepitas or Pipas" as well as those sold in baskets in the Mexico, usually by indigenous women or Marias as they have been known for a long time.

I prepared them mainly so that my children know where they come from and how they are made, because they had no idea, they have always eaten them bought when we go to Mexico and my mom gives them. There they eat like a snack, with or without a shell.
