1 cup pumpkin seeds from a medium pumpkin
(5-7 lbs)
5 T sugar
1/4 t coarse salt
1/4 t ground cumin
1/4 t ground cinnamon
1/4 t ground ginger
pinch cayenne (or more if you’re daring)
1 1/2 T peanut oil
Heat oven to 250 degrees, line baking sheet with
parchment paper, spread seeds, bake until dry,
stirring occasionally. Takes about 1 hr to bake. Let
cool. In the meantime, mix all the ingredients in a
bowl except the peanut oil and 2 T of the sugar. Put
the peanut oil in a frying pan on high heat and add
the cooked but cooled pumpkin seeds along with 2 T
of sugar. Cook until sugar melts and seeds begin to
caramelize, about 45- 60 seconds. Dump the seeds
in your bowl of mixed spices, stir, let cool, and eat.
