Ingredients

  • 1 cup raw cleaned whole pumpkin seeds
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar

Directions

Step 1
Preheat oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C).

Step 2
Place the pumpkin seeds on a cookie sheet, and spread them out into a single layer. Roast until brown and crisp, about 45 minutes. Set the seeds aside in a large bowl.

Step 3
Place the cinnamon, chili powder, and 1 teaspoon of sugar in a bowl, and set aside.

Step 4
Place olive oil and 1 tablespoon of sugar in a heavy saucepan over medium-low heat, and heat and stir with a wooden spoon until the sugar turns a light golden brown color. Watch it carefully to avoid burning.

Step 5
Pour the caramelized sugar mixture over the roasted pumpkin seeds, and stir to coat. Pour the cinnamon-chili powder mixture over the seeds, and toss to coat the seeds with the spices.
