Guest guest Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 Sweet and Spicy Pumpkin Seeds Ingredients Pumpkin seeds must be completely dried out in the oven before combining with spices 1 medium pumpkin 5 Tbs. sugar 1/4 Tsp. salt 1/4 Tsp. ground cumin 1/4 Tsp. ground cinnamon 1/4 Tsp. ground ginger Pinch cayenne pepper to taste 1 1/2 Tbs. peanut oil Directions Heat oven to 250 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Cut pumpkin open from the bottom, removing seeds with a long-handled spoon. Separate flesh from seeds, and reserve the flesh for another use (see Pumpkin Pie). Pumpkin should yield 1-C. seeds. Spread seeds on parchment in an even layer. Bake until dry, stirring occasionally, about 1 hour. Let cool. In a medium bowl combine 3 Tbs. sugar, salt, cumin, cinnamon, ginger, and cayenne. Heat peanut oil in a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add pumpkin seeds and remaining 2 Tbs. sugar. Cook until sugar melts and the pumpkin seeds begin to caramelize, about 45 to 60 seconds. Transfer to bowl with spices, and stir well to coat. Let cool. These may be stored in an airtight container for up to 1 week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
