Savory Pumpkin Seed Dip
I created this savory, flavorful pumpkin seed dip for Levels Health. This pumpkin seed dip is easy to prepare with just a few simple ingredients. Enjoy on cucumber rounds or nut and seed crackers.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup raw, unsalted pumpkin seeds
- 2 tbsp sesame seeds
- 3 tsp coriander
- 1 1/2 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp aleppo pepper
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 5 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- In a cast iron skillet, toast pumpkin seeds until they are a light golden color and begin to pop. Remove from the pan and set aside
- In the same skillet, toast sesame seeds stirring constantly. They will toast fast so be ready to scoop them out of the hot pan!
- Add all of the ingredients to the bowl of a food processor.
- Mix until It forms a chunky paste. You may have to occasionally scrape down the sides of the bowl and mix again.
- Transfer your dip to a bowl and sprinkle with whole pumpkin seeds and coarse salt to garnish. Serve with cucumber rounds, carrot sticks, or your favorite grain-free crackers.
Notes
Notes: I made this dip without toasting the pumpkin and sesame seeds and it was really good. Toasting the seeds adds a toastier, deeper flavor but if you are pressed for time, the dip is delicious either way.
Serve with my nut and seed crackers or simple cucumber rounds.
