Knife
- 1 cup raw pumpkin seeds
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Zest of 1 orange
- 8 ounces salami, thinly sliced
- 4 ounces orange cheddar cheese, cubed
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries
- 20 assorted crackers
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Toss the pumpkin seeds with olive oil and orange zest on a baking sheet.
Spread the seeds in a single layer and roast for 10 to 12 minutes until lightly golden. Let them cool for a few minutes.
Place the sliced salami in a fan shape on one side of a serving board.
Add the cubed orange cheddar next to the salami.
Scatter the cooled pumpkin seeds and dried cranberries across the board.
Fill in the remaining space with crackers and serve right away.
Roast the seeds just until they start to brown so they stay crisp without burning. The orange zest gives them a fresh lift that pairs nicely with the rich salami. You can swap the cheddar for another orange cheese if needed, but keep the seeds and cranberries in place for the best color contrast.
