    • 3 tablespoons white sugar
    • 1/4 teaspoon cumin
    • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
    • 1 pinch cayenne pepper
    • 🧂 2 teaspoons salt
    • 2 tablespoons white sugar

  • Seeds

    • 2 cups raw whole pumpkin seeds, washed and dried

  • Other Ingredients

STEPS

1

Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2

In a large bowl, stir together 3 tablespoons of sugar, cumin, cinnamon, ginger, and cayenne pepper. Set aside.

3

Place the pumpkin seeds on the prepared baking sheet. Spray them with cooking spray and sprinkle with salt to taste. Bake the seeds in the preheated oven until lightly golden, about 20 to 25 minutes.

4

Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Stir in the toasted pumpkin seeds along with 2 tablespoons of sugar. Cook and stir the seeds until the sugar forms a coating on them, about 2 to 3 minutes.

5

Stir the caramelized seeds into the sugar-spice mixture and toss to coat evenly. Let cool completely before serving.
