Crunchy Pumpkin Seed Delight Recipe

Ingredients

• 4 tbsp of rich dark brown sugar
• 2 tbsp of pure water
• ½ tbsp of flavorful kosher salt
• 1 ½ tsp of aromatic molasses
• 1 tsp of earthy ground cumin
• 1 tsp of warm ground cinnamon
• ¾ tsp of spicy ground ginger
• ¼ tsp of fiery cayenne pepper
• ¼ tsp of fragrant ground nutmeg
• 3 ½ cups of roasted unsalted pumpkin seeds

Step 1

Before getting started, preheat your oven to a cozy 275 degrees Fahrenheit (135 degrees Celsius) and grab a trusty baking sheet, lining it with parchment paper for easy cleanup later.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, combine a delightful blend of brown sugar, water, a pinch of salt, molasses, cumin, cinnamon, ginger, a hint of cayenne pepper, and a dash of nutmeg. Whisk these together until they form a flavorful mixture. Toss in the pumpkin seeds and give them a good coating of this aromatic blend.

Step 3

Spread the coated pumpkin seeds onto the prepared baking sheet and pop them into the oven. Let them bake to crispy perfection for around 35 to 40 minutes, remembering to give them a gentle stir halfway through for even cooking.

Step 4

Once the time is up, take the baking sheet out of the oven. Give the seeds another stir and then, with care, transfer the parchment paper with the seeds onto the counter to cool down completely. Once cooled, break up any clumps with your hands to ensure a delightful snacking experience.

Step 5

Enjoy these flavorful and crunchy pumpkin seeds as a delicious treat on their own or as a topping for salads and soups.
