In this post I’ll be sharing how to make Roasted Honey Spiced Pumpkin Seeds.

Roasted Honey Spiced Pumpkin Seeds is a delicious nutritious snack recipe made with seeds saved from your fresh fall pumpkins. These toasted seeds are sweet and savory and a perfect autumn treat.

The seeds of many pumpkin and squash varieties are also known as pepitas. Besides being delicious, these toasted seed snacks are also good for you.

Pumpkin seeds are also a great snack if you have chickens, like I do. I wash the seeds and give them to my girls as a treat. They love them and the seeds are also a natural de-wormer for chickens.

Ingredients

1-2 c Raw Pumpkin Seeds, from a pie pumpkin (typically one pie pumpkins yields one cup of seeds)
1 tbs Butter
2 tbs Honey
1 tsp Pumpkin Spice
1/4 tsp Chili Powder
1/4 tsp Cayenne Pepper
1/2 tsp Sea Salt

Remove seeds from pumpkin pulp and wash well.

Roasted Honey Spiced Pumpkin Seeds

Line seeds on a paper towels in a single layer and allow to dry thoroughly.

Preheat oven to 300°F.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Line seeds on baking sheet, spreading in a single layer.

Pumpkin Seed Snack Recipe

Place seeds into oven and roast for 20 minutes.

While the seeds roast, in a small bowl melt butter with honey in a microwave on high heat for 15 seconds.

Add spices to honey and butter and mix well to combine.

After 20 minutes, remove seeds from oven and place into a small mixing bowl. Pour honey spiced mixture over seeds and stir to combine.

Transfer seeds back to baking sheet and spread into a single layer. Return to oven and roast for an additional 20 minutes.

Remove from oven and allow to cool. Use a rubber spatula to scrape seeds from parchment paper. They will be sticky until cooled completely. Place in a zip-lock bag and drop onto counter top to help break them apart if needed.

Serve as a snack or appetizer.
