Sugar & Spice Roasted Pumpkin Seeds image

I found the basis for this recipe on All Recipes.com, posted there by Jani. I liked the idea but felt it needed some changes to fit my family's taste. It's a sweet, pumpkin pie spiced flavor with a hint of salt that we really enjoyed. I'm posting my version here for safe keeping because we all want to make this again next year.

Time 1h

Yield 2 cups, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups raw pumpkin seeds
5 tablespoons sugar (divided)
1/2 teaspoon sea salt (iodized table salt is fine, I just avoid it due to thyroid disease)
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
3 tablespoons butter

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 250 degrees F.
  • On foil lined cookie sheet (I fold up all four sides of foil to form a lip so they don't slide off), spread out seeds in a single layer.
  • Toast in oven for 45-50 minutes, stirring several times until seeds are dry & starting to brown.
  • When seeds are toasted, melt butter in a large skillet over med-high heat.
  • Add seeds & 2 Tablespoons of the sugar. Stir until sugar is melted. About 1 minute.
  • In medium sized mixing bowl, stir together the remaining 3 Tablespoons of sugar with the salt & pumpkin pie spice.
  • Add pumpkin seeds from skillet to mixing bowl & stir until coated.
