In this video, Betty uses her cooking pumpkin from the pumpkin patch at Baldwin Farms to demonstrate how to make Spiced Toasted Pumpkin seeds. These are sweet, salty, and crunchy. They are not low calories, but they are packed with nutrients!
Ingredients:
1 cup raw pumpkin seeds, with all pulp removed, rinsed, and dried with paper towel 6 tablespoons sugar, divided ¼ teaspoon salt ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice 1 tablespoon butter
Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Spread pumpkin seeds in a single layer on a baking sheet. Toast for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until seeds appear dry and toasted. If you have large seeds, the cooking time may be longer. In a large bowl, stir together 2 tablespoons of sugar, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice. Set aside. Melt butter in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the hot, toasted pumpkin seeds and sprinkle the remaining 4 tablespoons sugar over the seeds. Cook over medium heat, stirring continually, until the sugar melts. This should take only a minute or so. Pour caramelized seeds into the bowl with the spiced sugar mixture. Stir until all seeds are coated. Cool before serving. Store in an airtight container. These Spiced Toasted Pumpkin Seeds are a great treat anytime, and children really enjoy them!

Hi Betty, I like your recipe with pumpkin seeds. I always baked the seeds just with salt. and also would plant the seeds in our school garden. I will try this next year to put in the sugar and the spices. Thanks for your recipe. chuchu7s I didn't know about a cooking pumpkin what's the difference with the orange pumpkin? What kind of recipes are you going to have for Christmas?
Hi! The spices are really good with the pumpkin seeds--it makes kind of a sweet/salty snack! The orange pumpkin has a tougher skin and less pumpkin flesh than a cooking pumpkin. I have a Playlist on bettyskitchen home page of Betty's Holiday Dinner Menu Suggestions--those are the types of things I fix for Thanksgiving and for Christmas! Thanks for your questions! --Betty :)
Betty thanks for posting this!! I have always trown my pumpkin seeds away with the pulp, shalln't be doing that again. The dumb thing is that then I buy roasted pumpkin seeds from the store to sprinkle on my salads and soups!! I've never had them sweet, they look good, I'll try them one day. I live in Spain and I can't get pumpkin pie spices, do you think "all spice" would be a good substitute?
Thanks! They are different from the pumpkin seeds that just have oil and salt. These are salty and sweet. I just eat a few at a time...They are quite tasty! Thanks (as always) for your lovely comment! --Betty :)
