Bring a nonstick sauté pan to medium heat with the oil. Once the oil is hot, add in the pumpkin seeds and salt and sauté until slightly browned and fragrant (this will vary on each stove - watch closely to make sure they don't burn). Remove seeds immediately from the pan when done. Reserve about 1 tbs of the seeds for garnish later, if you'd like.
Prep the jalapeño - cut in half, and remove the ribs and seeds (you can keep them in, but it will be spicy!). Feel free to use the whole jalapeño if you like!
Add the peeled clove of garlic ALONE to the food processor. Process on high until the clove is minced. (You can also mince by hand or use a garlic press).
Then, add in the toasted pumpkin seeds to the food processor with the garlic and process until the pumpkin seeds are cut up into chunks. Do not process to the point where the seeds are a paste - you still want crunchy chunks left in the dip.
Then, add in everything else - avocados, salt, and pepper. Process until the avocados are puréed but are still a little chunky, like guacamole. Taste, and adjust seasonings if you'd like. You may want to add more salt.
To garnish, add on the reserved pumpkin seeds, if you'd like.
Enjoy!
