Cinnamon And Ginger Caramelized Pumpkin Seeds Recipes

CANDIED PUMPKIN SEEDS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Whisk brown sugar, water, salt, molasses, cumin, cinnamon, ginger, cayenne pepper, and nutmeg together in a medium mixing bowl. Add pumpkin seeds and toss until evenly coated. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake until crispy, stirring halfway through, 35 to 40 minutes. Remove from the oven, stir, then carefully slide or lift the parchment paper off the baking sheet and set on the counter to cool completely. Break up any clumps with your hands and serve.

ROASTED CINNAMON SPICE PUMPKIN SEEDS

Steps:

• Combine water, pumpkin seeds, and salt together in a pot; bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer until seeds are tender, about 10 minutes. Strain seeds, discarding water, and lightly pat seeds dry with a towel.
• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Lightly oil a baking sheet with olive oil.
• Spread pumpkin seeds out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle sugar, cinnamon, and ginger evenly over seeds.
• Bake in the preheated oven, stirring every ten minutes, until seeds are fragrant and roasted, about 40 minutes.

CARAMELIZED SPICY PUMPKIN SEEDS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, stir together 3 tablespoons of sugar, the cumin, cinnamon, ginger, and cayenne pepper, and set aside.
• Place the pumpkin seeds on the prepared baking sheet, spray them with cooking spray, and sprinkle with salt to taste. Bake the seeds in the preheated oven until lightly golden, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, and stir in the toasted pumpkin seeds along with 2 tablespoons of sugar. Cook and stir the seeds until the sugar forms a coating on the seeds, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir the caramelized seeds into the bowl of sugar-spice mixture, toss to coat, and let cool.
