Number Of Ingredients 4

1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, plus more for baking sheet
1/2 cup packed light-brown sugar
1/4 cup honey
1 cup fresh pumpkin seeds, rinsed well, dried, and toasted

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter an 11-by-17-inch rimmed baking sheet; set aside.
  • Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in sugar and honey. Bring to a boil. Cook, without stirring, until mixture is medium amber and a candy thermometer registers 280 degrees, about 6 minutes. Stir in pumpkin seeds. Cook until mixture reaches 300 degrees, about 2 minutes. Pour onto prepared baking sheet. Let cool completely. Break into pieces.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pumpkin seeds: For the best results, use fresh, raw pumpkin seeds. Avoid using pre-roasted or salted seeds, as they will not have the same flavor or texture.
  • Roast the pumpkin seeds: Roasting the pumpkin seeds brings out their flavor and makes them crispy. You can roast them in the oven or on the stovetop. If you are roasting them in the oven, spread them out in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast them at 300 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown. If you are roasting them on the stovetop, heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the pumpkin seeds. Cook them for 5-7 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
  • Add seasonings: Once the pumpkin seeds are roasted, you can add any seasonings you like. Some popular options include salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and chili powder. You can also add sweet seasonings, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
  • Store the pumpkin seeds: Roasted pumpkin seeds can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks. You can also store them in the refrigerator for up to six months.
