Did you know that eating something salty can curb a sweet tooth? I swear it works. I keep roasted pepitas on hand all the time for that very reason. If you don’t know what pepitas are, they are the inside part of a pumpkin seed. Roasted pepitas have such great flavor. Pepitas are also a great source of magnesium and omega 3 fatty acid. When made in this fashion, they can be quite addicting. My kids love them as well.
Roasted pepitas are also a great snack option for those that have nut allergies. Kind of like my Maple Cinnamon Roasted Chickpeas and my Nut Free Snack Bars.
