Time 40m

Yield 2 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 9

Vegetable oil, for the baking sheet
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 1/2 cups fresh pumpkin seeds (pepitas), cleaned of any large chunks of pumpkin, but some pulp is okay
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and lightly oil the foil.
  • Melt the butter in a saute pan over medium heat. Add the pepitas, toss to coat in the butter and then add the sugar, cinnamon, ginger, allspice, cloves and 1 teaspoon salt. Spread the pepitas on the prepared baking sheet in 1 layer and bake, stirring once or twice, until golden brown all over, 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool completely.
