  2. 2 Combine pepitas, sunflower seeds, flax seeds, egusi seeds, chia seeds, quinoa, white sesame seeds, black sesame seeds, and amaranth seeds in a large bowl using a rubber spatula.

Season with salt, cayenne pepper, and ground peppercorns; stir until well combined. Pour onto the prepared baking sheet; spread into a single layer.
  3. 3 Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove from oven; stir well. Bake 5 minutes more; stir. Check egusi seeds as they will be the first seeds to show signs of roasting by turning brown. Bake 5 minutes more, checking after 3 minutes without opening oven door. Once egusi seeds are brown and pepitas are beginning to brown (they will have a glossy shine and should begin to puff up), turn off heat and open the oven door. Leave seeds inside with door open for 10 minutes.
  4. 4 Remove baking sheet from oven; cool on the baking sheet, stirring occasionally, until completely cooled. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 weeks.
