  2. Transfer the seeds to a colander and rinse thoroughly under cold running water.
  3. Spread the rinsed seeds out on a kitchen towel in a single layer and let them air dry for at least 30 minutes.
  4. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  5. Combine the dried seeds with a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil and a pinch of sea salt in a medium-sized bowl.
  6. Spread the seasoned seeds in a single layer on the baking sheet and roast for 35 to 45 minutes, stirring halfway through.
  7. Remove the tray from the oven and let the seeds cool for a few minutes. Toss them in a bowl with chili powder before serving.
