Pepitas (roasted)

Pepitas are hulled, green pumpkin seeds, flat and oval-shaped, with a mild, nutty flavour. They are eaten raw or roasted as a snack, sprinkled over salads and baked goods, or ground into sauces like Mexican mole verde. Unlike unhulled pumpkin seeds, they have no tough outer shell to remove before eating.

Roasting drives off moisture and can shrink or crisp an ingredient, giving it a different density than the raw form.
