As I was seperating pumpkin seeds as we were carving pumpkins, I was having a craving for something sweet. So I decided that I would try roasting my pumpkin seeds a little different this year. I try to eat low carb so I have adjusted most of my cooking to accomodate this lifestyle and these seeds are just another great way to satisfy my sweet tooth!!! I will base all the ingredients on 2 Cups of Pumpkin Seeds just to be consistent but this will vary so adjust your recipe depending on how you sweet you like your seeds! Ingredients:
2 cups pumpkin seeds |
1 1/2 tablespoons butter-flavored cooking spray (i used i can't believe it's not butter spray) |
1 -1 1/2 tablespoon sugar substitute |
1/2-1 tablespoon cinnamon |
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional) |
Directions:
1. Make sure your seeds are rinsed well and dry.
2. Pre-Heat Oven to 400 degrees.
3. Pour in Spray Butter and Toss seeds to coat evenly.
4. While stirring, add sugar substitute, cinnamon and nutmeg to coat evenly.
5. Spread seeds on to a baking sheet. (I line mine with Parchment paper to prevent sticking!).
6. Bake for 8-10 minutes (or until seeds are brown), stirring 2-3 times within the cooking time.
7. Allow to cool before enjoying!
