These scrumptious, crunchy lemon garlic pumpkin seeds make a delicious snack! They're also great atop salads, soups, and stir-fries.
I love pumpkin seeds. I began incorporating them into my diet because of their high zinc content, but they're also high in protein and other nutrients.
They're also very versatile. They can be made into a seed butter, dairy-free milk, or even a flour for using in baked goods.
I love to snack on them raw, but I created this recipe as a delicious way to eat them with the complementary flavors of lemon and garlic.
In addition to making a healthy snack, these also work great as a salad topper or atop a stir-fry.
