Ingredients

  • 1 cup raw pumpkin seeds rinsed and dried
  • 6 tablespoons white sugar divided
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon all spice
  • 2 tablespoons butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 250 degrees.
  2. On a parchment lined baking sheet, spread pumpkin seeds in a single layer.
  3. Toast for 30-45 minutes stirring occasionally. Seeds should appear dry and slightly toasted.
  4. In a bowl, combine two tablespoons of sugar, salt, cinnamon, and all spice.

  5. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium high heat. Once butter is melted, add pumpkin seeds and remaining four tablespoons of sugar.

  6. Stir constantly until sugar dissolves. (anywhere from 1-4 minutes.)
  7. Remove from heat.
  8. Pour seeds into the bowl with the spiced sugar and stir until coated.
  9. Transfer seeds to parchment lined baking sheet and spread in a flat layer.

  10. *Note: If you like clumps of seeds, there is no need to spread in flat layer.

  11. Make sure seeds are cool before eating.
