Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Raw pumpkin seeds
- 2 tablespoons Butter, melted
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground ginger
- 0.125 teaspoons Ground cloves
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a non-stick baking mat.
Rinse the raw pumpkin seeds under cold water to remove any pulp or residue, then pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and salt. Stir to create a smooth spiced mixture.
Add the dried pumpkin seeds into the bowl and toss thoroughly to coat them evenly with the sugar and spice mixture.
Spread the coated pumpkin seeds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the seeds in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure they roast evenly. Keep a close eye during the last few minutes to prevent burning.
Once the seeds are golden brown and aromatic, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet.
Transfer the cooled pumpkin seeds to an airtight container for storage or serve immediately as a crispy treat!
