Seasoned Pumpkin Seeds

Tis the season for all things pumpkin.  Here’s a good recipe that’s a little more natural and a little less chemical.

2-3 cups pumpkin seeds (raw, unroasted)
2 tsp. brown sugar
1 tsp. sea salt
1 tsp. cayenne
1.5 tsp. smoked paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp black pepper
Toss pumpkin seeds in 3-4 tablespoons olive oil.  Toss with spice mixture.  Spread on slightly oiled baking sheet and bake 20-30 min at 350.  Check every five minutes to make sure they’re not burning.  They’re done when they’re browned and crunchy.
