Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups pumpkin seeds (raw, rinsed, and dried)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoons ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cloves
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a non-stick baking mat.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and salt. Stir until well mixed to create the spice coating.
Add the pumpkin seeds to the bowl and toss until all seeds are evenly coated with the spiced mixture.
Spread the seeds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet to ensure even roasting.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the seeds for 20-25 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to prevent burning and to promote even cooking.
Once the seeds are golden brown and fragrant, remove them from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes.
Once cooled, serve the roasted pumpkin pie seeds immediately or store them in an airtight container for up to a week for a delicious, spiced snack.
