Honey Roasted Pumpkin Seeds
Ingredients
2 c. pumpkin seeds cleaned
2 tsp. neutral oil or olive oil
2 tbsp. Wildflower Honey
Flaky sea salt, such as Maldon
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325 F. We used a sheet pan and lined it with parchment paper.
Cut open your pumpkins. Remove the pulp and stringy bits from the seeds and pat dry with a kitchen towel. I made sure to pat mine dry with a paper towel.
In a large wide skillet, warm the oil over medium heat and sauté the pumpkin seeds until lightly golden, about 3 minutes. We used a cast iron skillet and stayed close so they wouldn’t burn.
Add the honey and stir with a rubber spatula. Because honey can burn quickly, we kept the flame on medium low and kept moving the seeds around the pan with a spatula to prevent them from burning.
Pour the seeds onto the parchment line sheet and sprinkle with salt, we used Maldron salt. Spread them out on the sheet.
Transfer the cooking sheet to the oven. Roast for 20-30 minutes depending on hot your oven gets, stirring occasionally so that they do not burn.
Taste one of the seeds. You want them crispy throughout, and not soft in the center. Continue to cook if necessary.
When finished, tip the seeds out on a parchment lined plate or non stick surface to cool.
