  1. 1/2 cup pepitas
  2. 1 tablespoon olive oil
  3. 3/4 teaspoon chili powder
  4. Kosher salt
  5. 1/2 small seedless watermelon (about 4 1/2 pounds)
  6. 1/2 small honeydew (about 1 3/4 pounds), seeds removed

Instructions

  1. Toss the pepitas with the olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon of the chili powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Add to a small skillet and heat over medium heat, stirring frequently, until toasted and turning brown in some spots, 5 to 7 minutes.

Fold in the pepitas and serve immediately.
