INGREDIENTS

  • Main Ingredients

    • 1 cup raw cleaned whole pumpkin seeds
    • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
    • ⅛ teaspoon chili powder
    • 1 teaspoon white sugar
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • 1 tablespoon white sugar

STEPS

1

Preheat oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C).

2

Place the pumpkin seeds on a cookie sheet, and spread them out into a single layer. Roast until brown and crisp, about 45 minutes. Set the seeds aside in a large bowl.

3

Place the cinnamon, chili powder, and 1 teaspoon of sugar in a bowl, and set aside.

4

Place olive oil and 1 tablespoon of sugar in a heavy saucepan over medium-low heat, and heat and stir with a wooden spoon until the sugar turns a light golden brown color. Watch it carefully to avoid burning.

5

Pour the caramelized sugar mixture over the roasted pumpkin seeds, and stir to coat. Pour the cinnamon-chili powder mixture over the seeds, and toss to coat the seeds with the spices.
