Roast Spiced Pumpkin Seeds
Start by heating your oven to 275°F (135°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, mix together the brown sugar, water, salt, molasses, cumin, cinnamon, ginger, cayenne, and nutmeg until everything is well combined. Add the pumpkin seeds to the bowl and toss them around so they’re fully coated in the spice mixture. Spread the seeds out on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Pop them in the oven and bake for about 35 to 40 minutes, giving them a good stir halfway through to make sure they crisp up evenly. Once they’re done, take the seeds out and stir them one more time. Carefully lift the parchment paper off the pan and set it on the counter to cool completely. When they’re cool, break apart any clusters and enjoy!
