Float like a butternut, sting like a bee! These sweet and spicy squash seeds, grown in NY and roasted in small batches, make for one uniquely autumnal snack, flavored with pure maple syrup, fiery chili powder, and a citrusy hint of lime. The naturally buttery pepitas are an excellent source of protein, not to mention lutein (a known anti-inflammatory), beta carotene, and vitamins E and A. So why bother with chips, when you can have seeds fit for the gourds? 

Tip of the Tongue

Believe it or butternut, you can grind your pepitas down in a food processor to create a gluten-free alternative to breadcrumbs.
