Pepita Power

Welcome to Pepita Power! I’m Chef Rouge, and I created this recipe collection to serve as an introduction to cooking with pepitas. What are pepitas? The term “pepita” refers to a pumpkin seed without the shell. Pepitas are highly nutrient dense, incredibly versatile in culinary applications, widely available, affordable, and sustainable. By making the recipes in this book, you will learn a variety of ways to use pepitas to replace milk, cream, cheese, ground meat, and eggs.


My notes about the recipes:

• The Pepita Tacos are incredible.
• The Pepita Meat/Taco Meat makes a perfect replacement for ground meat.
• Most recipes require a blender, a stove, and/or an oven.
• All Recipes are Whole food Based, Vegan, Gluten Free, Soy Free, Nut Free, & Refined Sugar Free* *Depending on what kind of chocolate chips you use in the brownies
• The recipes are not oil free - all can be made oil free except the aioli
• The recipes tend to be light on salt, add salt to your personal taste.
• The Quiche is bangin.
• The Meatloaf isn't super meaty.
• The Omelet makes an awesome sushi filling.
• Make the taco filling in large batches, it freezes well.
• The Brownies are scrumptious.
• Pepita Milk is awesome in coffee.

The Pepita Power is yours!
