Description
A nutty, crunchy snack featuring roasted pumpkin seeds coated in a savory, slightly sweet soy-free tamari alternative. Perfect for munching or serving at gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup raw pumpkin seeds (unsalted, hulled)
- 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Pinch of sea salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together coconut aminos, maple syrup, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and sea salt.
- Add the raw pumpkin seeds to the bowl and toss until evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
- Spread the seeds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet using a spatula.
- Roast the seeds in the oven for 10-12 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking.
- Remove the seeds from the oven and let them cool for 5-10 minutes. They will crisp up as they cool.
Notes
For extra-crispy seeds, leave them in the oven for an additional 2-3 minutes, but watch closely to avoid over-browning. Adjust seasoning to taste and experiment with variations like adding chili flakes or cinnamon.
