I'm a pumpkin seed purist (roasted w/ sea salt & EVOO) so I enjoyed trying out new recipes this afternoon, after some goopy, messy jack-o-lantern carving. I chose this recipe (for the sweet) and another one that was more spicy. Truth be told, after they cooled, I mixed the 2 batches together for a co-minglng of savory and sugary. However, as this recipe stands, I enjoyed it, but really recommend going 300 deg. instead of 350, b/c some of my seeds got sticky and burnt. The smell wafting through my house while these roasted -- DEEEEEVINE!
This was a nice different recipe.I liked the sweetness instead of the regular saltyones I make. I doubled everything in the ingredients except the butter. And I only had to bake it for 20 minutes but that may be because I used a pie pumpkin instead of a regular sized pumpkin so the seeds were smaller and cooked faster.
Addictive. They pass the kid test. These will go fast at our house. I may make another batch and include them in a granola mix.
It was pretty good flavor. Sweet but not rich. I used 2 tablespoons of brown sugar instead of maple syrup and because others were saying there was too much butter I only used 2 tablespoons and it was perfect. I baked at 300 as suggested by another for 30 minutes and it could have been a bit longer because I would have liked them a little more crispy.
Ended up burnt and I only had the oven on 325. Did make the apartment smell lovely though.
The BOMB!! These are awesome!!!!
I made these for a Halloween party. Lots of people loved them; the bowl was gone at the end of the night. I would use less butter next time. I had to drain some off then patted them off with a paper towel.
I didn't change anything.. I loved them. I also had made some cinnamon/sugar pumpkin seeds. I took the two and combined them. They were amazing together. My husband isn't a big pumpkin seed person like I am and he was eating them..
