A delightful snack of roasted pepitas coated in a sweet and spicy blend.
Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lining the baking sheet makes cleanup easier and prevents sticking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the sugar, chili powder, cinnamon, salt, cumin, and cayenne pepper.
Mix thoroughly to ensure an even coating on the pepitas.
Add the pepitas to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the spice mixture.
Ensure all pepitas are well-coated for consistent flavor.
Spread the coated pepitas in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
A single layer ensures even roasting.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the pepitas are golden and aromatic.
Keep an eye on the pepitas to prevent burning.
Remove from the oven and let them cool completely before serving or storing.
Cooling helps the coating set and enhances the crunch.
