Pumpkin Spiced Pumpkin Seeds
One of the many joys during Fall is carving pumpkins. The best part of carving pumpkins are the seeds! Don’t discard those amazing goodies. They’re super easy to roast up and you can add so many different flavors to them. One of our favorite ways to roast them is with pumpkin spice. All of the warm, comforting flavors of the season in little bites. Enjoy!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup pumpkin seeds, cleaned
- 2 teaspoons coconut oil
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin spice (1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon clove, 1/4 teaspoon ginger, 1/4 teaspoon allspice)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt, optional
Directions:
- Set your oven to 400F.
- Make sure your seeds are free of any pumpkin bits and are completely dry – patting them down with a paper towel if necessary.
- You can add the oil in one of two ways: add the seeds to a bowl and mix them with the oil, or place the seeds directly on a lined baking tray and drizzle with the oil. Either way works great – and the second method saves on dishes!
- Sprinkle the pumpkin spice onto the seeds and roast for 5-10 minutes until the seeds take on a golden taupe colour. Stir halfway through to ensure even roasting.
- If adding salt, sprinkle it on after you’ve removed the seeds from the oven.
Note: If you’d prefer not to use pumpkin spice, use 2 teaspoons of cinnamon to replace.
