Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh pumpkin seeds
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cloves
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Step 2
Rinse the pumpkin seeds thoroughly in a colander to remove any remaining pumpkin pulp. Spread them on a clean kitchen towel and pat them dry completely.
Step 3
Melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan or in the microwave. Set aside to cool slightly.
Step 4
In a mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, ground cloves, and salt.
Step 5
Add the dried pumpkin seeds to the mixing bowl with the sugar-spice mixture. Drizzle the melted butter over the seeds and toss until the seeds are evenly coated in the mixture.
Step 6
Spread the coated pumpkin seeds in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overlapping for even roasting.
Step 7
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting. Keep an eye on them towards the end to avoid burning.
Step 8
Remove from the oven when the seeds are golden and fragrant. Let them cool completely on the baking sheet to allow the sugary coating to harden.
Step 9
Once cooled, store the Sugar Spice Roasted Pumpkin Seeds in an airtight container for up to one week, or enjoy them immediately as a snack!
