over fall break, my roommate and i had the luxury of carving jack-o-lanterns and then...having a humongous haul of pumpkin seeds! of course, what do you do with a plethora of little slimy seeds?
check out what we did vvvvvv
1 tablespoon of butter
2 1/2 cups of raw pumpkin seeds
1 tablespoon of honey
1/2 tablespoon of corn syrup
1 teaspoon of brown sugar
salt
what to do!!!
preheat your oven to 270 degrees f
in a colander, wash your pumpkin seeds until the pulp is all gone. i like to stir them using a whisking motion with my open hand.
in the meantime, melt your butter in the microwave
when they are all clean, transfer to a buttered bowl and add the melted butter corn syrup, brown sugar, and honey and mix thoroughly.
spoon onto a baking sheet that has been sprayed with nonstick cooking spray or butter. make sure you do your best to make a flat layer (i know it's hard because they're sticky! you can do it!).
sprinkle about 2-3 teaspoons of salt (or to taste) on top.
pop it in the oven and bake for 20 minutes, then stir and bake for an additional 10 minutes. Take it out, stir, test a seed to see if it's crispy, soggy, or undersalted. If it's still a little chewy, pop 'em in until you get a beautiful caramelized seed that crunches immediately when chewed.
AND YOU ARE DONE!
you will be addicted at first bite. i promise that if you love sweet 'n salty treats, then this will be the most amazing halloween-y/autumn-y snack you will have this season (candy? what candy???).
HAPPY HALLOWEEEEEN!!!!!!!!
