Candida Diet Friendly Sea Salt Roasted Pumpkin Seeds

Crunchy, savory, and deeply satisfying, these little seeds deliver a serious snack without a single ingredient that would derail your protocol. Pumpkin seeds are a powerhouse of zinc and healthy fats, and when you roast them low and slow at 325°F, they turn perfectly golden and crisp in a way that store-bought versions rarely achieve. A light coat of olive oil and fine sea salt is all you really need, though the optional garlic powder and cayenne add a welcome kick if you want something with a little more personality. Snacking is often the hardest part of a strict anti-candida approach — most packaged options are loaded with sugars, starches, or mystery additives — so having a clean, homemade go-to like this genuinely changes the game. The whole process takes under 25 minutes, and the seeds crisp up even further as they cool on the pan, so resist the urge to eat them all immediately. Store any leftovers in an airtight container and you've got a ready-made snack that holds up beautifully for days.
