6 servings
- ½ cup raw pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
- 1 cup fresh dill, loosely packed
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, roughly chopped
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice (from about 1 lemon)
- 1 small clove garlic, peeled
- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 3–4 tbsp water, plus more as needed
- ¼ tsp sea salt, or to taste
- ⅛ tsp black pepper, or to taste
- ¼ tsp ground cumin (optional)
Instructions

Heat a small dry skillet over medium heat. Add the pumpkin seeds and toast, stirring frequently, until they begin to pop and turn lightly golden, about 3–4 minutes. Watch closely, as they can brown quickly. Transfer to a plate and let cool for 2 minutes.
