Chili Lime Pepitas and Peanuts

Name: Chili Lime Pepitas and Peanuts
Prep time: 8 min
Cook time: 7 min
Total time: 30 min
Ingredients: 2 cups roasted peanuts; 1 cup pumpkin seeds (raw, pepitas); 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil; 2 teaspoons chili powder; ½ teaspoon kosher salt; 1 lime (juiced)

A squeeze of fresh lime cuts through the salt and chili on these roasted nuts and seeds. They are just as easy to eat by the handful as they are to scatter over a salad.

Butter Club Notes

I always end up making more of these than I think I'll need, and somehow they're still gone by the end of the day. They're salty, crunchy, a little spicy, and the fresh lime keeps everything tasting bright instead of heavy. They're great on salads, but I've also caught myself eating handful after handful straight from the sheet pan while they're still warm.
