Step 1
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat until it feels hot when you hold your hand 2 inches above it.
Step 2
Add pepitas and toast, stirring constantly, until they begin to pop and smell fragrant, 3–4 minutes.
Step 3
Drizzle with olive oil, then add salt and cayenne. Toss constantly for 1 minute until coated evenly.
Step 4
Spread on a plate to cool for 2 minutes—they'll crisp as they cool. Serve warm or at room temperature.
