Ingredients
2 cups raw pumpkin seeds, rinsed and thoroughly dried
6 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1-1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
¼ teaspoon of cayenne (optional)
2 tablespoons butter
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Spread pumpkin seeds in a single layer on a baking sheet. Toast for 35-45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until seeds are slightly golden in color.
Step 2
Combine the sugar, salt, and pumpkin pie spice in a bowl. Heat the butter in a large pan over medium heat. Add the pumpkin seeds and stir to coat. Sprinkle the sugar mixture over the seeds and stir until coated. Gently stir until sugar caramelizes and seeds reach the toastiness you prefer. Remove from heat and allow to cool before serving. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
