Sweet and Spicy Pumpkin Seeds

Directions

1. Set your oven to 250 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Take the seeds out of the pumpkin and rinse them clean.
3. Place the seeds in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 1 hour, stirring from time to time.
4. In a mixing bowl, stir together 3 tablespoons of the sugar, the salt, cumin, cinnamon, ginger, and cayenne pepper.
5. Warm the peanut oil in a large skillet over high heat.
6. Toss in the roasted pumpkin seeds and the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar.
7. Cook the mixture for roughly 45 seconds, until the sugar liquefies and the seeds become caramelized.
8. Immediately transfer the caramelized seeds into the bowl with the spice mixture and toss until evenly coated.
9. Allow the seeds to cool completely.
10. Keep in an airtight container for up to one week.
