For best results, use seeds from a sugar pumpkin, as they tend to be more flavorful. Don't skip the brining step! It helps to season the seeds from the inside out and gives them a satisfying crunch. Keep a close eye on the seeds during baking, as they can burn easily. Adjust baking time as needed based on your oven. Feel free to experiment with other spices, such as allspice or pumpkin pie spice blend. Store the cooled pumpkin seeds in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.

Follow The Directions
01
StepBrining the Seeds: In a saucepan, combine pumpkin seeds, water, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to medium and boil for 10 minutes. (Time: 15 minutes)
02
StepDrying the Seeds: Drain the seeds thoroughly, ensuring not to rinse. Pat them dry with paper towels and spread them out on a work surface or baking sheet to air dry. (Time: 30 minutes)
03
StepPreheating and Prep: Preheat your oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
04
StepSpice Infusion: Melt butter in a large microwave-safe bowl (about 1 minute). Add the dried pumpkin seeds, 1 tablespoon of sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and cardamom. Toss everything together until the seeds are evenly coated with the spiced butter.
05
StepBaking: Spread the spiced seeds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure even toasting. (Time: 45-60 minutes)
06
StepFinishing Touch: Once the seeds are toasted and crunchy, remove them from the oven and sprinkle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar (or more, to taste). Let the seeds cool completely before serving. (Time: 15 minutes)
