Crunchy Detox Salad with Tamari-Roasted Pumpkin Seeds

Tamari-Roasted Pumpkin Seeds

  • Preheat your oven to 300 degrees F.
  • Soak 2/3 cup hulled, raw pumpkin seeds in 2 tablespoons of gluten-free soy sauce for 3 minutes.
  • Spread the soaked pumpkin seeds evenly on a rimmed baking tray and bake for 8 minutes.
  • Flip the seeds and bake for 2-5 minutes more, making sure they don’t burn.
  • Remove from the baking tray and allow to cool (they’ll get crunchy as they cool). Use to top salad (or eat as a snack ;))
