  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder

  • ¼ teaspoon ground cumin

  2. Roast, uncovered, for 20 minutes, stirring once. Remove from the oven and stir. Sprinkle with paprika, salt, garlic powder, cumin, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Stir to coat evenly.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
