Ingredients
- 2 cups Raw pumpkin seeds
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground allspice
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Rinse the raw pumpkin seeds under cold water to remove any pulp and pat them dry thoroughly using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Step 3
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground nutmeg, ground allspice, ground cayenne pepper, and salt. Stir until it forms a smooth, spiced paste.
Step 4
Add the dried pumpkin seeds to the bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated with the spice mixture.
Step 5
Spread the coated seeds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet to ensure even roasting.
Step 6
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes, stirring halfway through to prevent burning.
Step 7
Once the seeds are golden brown and crispy, remove them from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. They will crisp up more as they cool.
Step 8
Store the Spicy Pumpkin Pie Seeds in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week, or enjoy them immediately as a snack!
