SWEET AND SALTY TOASTED PUMPKIN SEEDS
Sweet and Salty Toasted Pumpkin Seeds
CATEGORIES
INGREDIENTS
- Cooking Time: 40
- Servings: 4
- Preparation Time: 5
- 2 cups pumpkin seeds (I did 1 cup at a time in 2 batches because they toast evenly)
- 2 tbsp butter or margarine
- 1 tbsp salt
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 2 tsp sugar
DIRECTIONS
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Make the seeds in 2 separate batches. (If you just want one type of seeds, then just double/triple/whatever the recipe. It works if you only like one flavor as well.)
For Salty seeds: Line a cookie sheet with foil and coat with nonstick spray. Melt 1 tbsp of butter. In a bowl, combine 1 cup seeds, 1 tbsp butter, and 1 tbsp salt. Mix thoroughly. Spread evenly on cookie sheet and bake for about 20 mins, checking the oven at the 10 minute mark and tossing them around (with a spoon or something). Let cool for about 10 minutes.
For sweet seeds: Line a cookie sheet with foil and coat with nonstick spray. Melt 1 tbsp of butter. In a bowl, combine 1 cup seeds, 1 tbsp butter, and the cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and sugar. Mix thoroughly. Spread evenly on a cookie sheet and bake for about 20 mins, checking the oven at the 10 minute mark and tossing them around. They will just look a little carmelized and may seem wet after 20 minutes, but they need time out of the oven to harden up a bit. (This is why my first two batches failed!) Let them cool for 10 minutes.
Combine both sets of seeds for a sweet and salty healthy snack! Or, eat separately. Either way, amazing!
