Ingredients:

Serving

1 tsp oil
1 clove garlic , slightly smashed
1/2 cup pepitas ( pumpkin seeds, raw and shelled)
1/2 tsp kosher salt , to taste
1/2 tsp ground cumin , to taste
1/2 tsp paprika , to taste
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper , to taste (optional)

Directions:

Heat a cast iron skillet.
Add oil and garlic, and use the garlic to spread the oil.
Remove the garlic as it begins to color and discard (or mash with butter to spread on bread).
Add the pepitas and stir or shake the pan to coat with the oil.
They will soon begin to pop and dance .
When they are mostly popped (this takes only a minute or so), turn off heat and sprinkle with the seasonings and toss to coat.
As these are rather messy to eat with your fingers, serve in tiny muffin cups that hold about a tablespoon so you can just pour them into your mouth.
