On the day I came across yummy Fried Pepitas at a friend’s house. She said she’d bought them at a farmers’ market. I loved them but I found they were quite pricy. I though it should be easy to make, so I tried. It was indeed super easy to make. You can use your favourite spices but the following combination is quite good.
