Sugar'n'Spice Pumpkin Seeds image

I did some research on different pumpkin seed recipes and took what I loved from several and came up with this one. I think it's a winner - a little sweet with a little heat. I just love them and I think you will, too. :)

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 c washed and dried pumpkin seeds
cooking spray
coarse sea salt
3 Tbsp sugar
1/3 tsp allspice, ground
1/3 tsp cinnamon
1/3 tsp cayenne pepper
1/3 tsp cumin
3 Tbsp butter
1 Tbsp brown sugar, firmly packed
1 Tbsp sugar

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Wash and dry 2 cups of pumpkin seeds. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place seeds in a single layer. Spray with cooking spray and sprinkle with coarse sea salt to taste. Place baking sheet in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
  • 2. While seeds are baking, in a large bowl combine 3T sugar, 1/3 t ground allspice, 1/3 t cinnamon, 1/3 t cayenne pepper, 1/3 t cumin. Mix well and set aside.
  • 3. When seeds have finished toasting in the oven, place 3 T of butter on low heat in a pan. Add 1T brown sugar, firmly packed and 1 T white sugar. Mix well and add the seeds to carmelize them. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
  • 4. Add carmelized seeds to the spice mixture and coat thoroughly. Place the coated seeds back on the baking sheet in a single layer and allow them to air dry for 24 hours before storing. This will prevent them from turning soggy. Enjoy!
