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.

Looking at the ingredients in this recipe I was sold. I used 1 1/2 cup of seeds and was disappointed in how flavorful the seeds came out. I will make this recipe again and up the honey, chili powder and cayenne. I will bump up the salt a little bit. This of course, is a personal preference. I was a little confused at how the recipe is written. The recipe states “roasted” but the first direction is to preheat oven. It’s not until the second baking does it call for roasting. This may seem trivial but I found it a little confusing. Otherwise I can’t wait to make this recipe again with a little more spice.
