Ingredients
- Raw pumpkin seeds 1 tablespoon cup
- Orange 1 medium piece
Method
-
Measure pumpkin seeds.
Using a tablespoon, measure out 1 tablespoon of raw pumpkin seeds. This portion size is calculated to fit the target macros and calories.
Tip: Use a dry measuring spoon for accuracy. -
Prepare the orange.
Peel the orange carefully, removing all the white pith as much as possible for better taste. Then slice the orange into 6-8 wedges or rounds, depending on your preference.
Tip: Use a sharp knife to make clean slices and avoid squashing the orange. -
Plate and serve.
Arrange the pumpkin seeds on a small plate or bowl. Place the orange slices alongside. This combination is ready to eat immediately as a nutritious snack.
Tip: You can lightly toast the pumpkin seeds in a dry pan for 2-3 minutes if you prefer a crunchier texture, but this will slightly alter the nutrition.
Pro tips
- Toast pumpkin seeds lightly in a dry skillet over medium heat for enhanced flavor without adding oil.
- Choose ripe, juicy oranges for the best sweetness and moisture balance.
