Crunchy, smoky, and just the right touch of sweet—these maple-roasted pumpkin seeds are your new favorite snack. Coated in warming spices and kissed with heat, they’re perfect for salads, soups, charcuterie boards, or just straight from the pan.
Ingredients
2 cups raw pumpkin seeds (with shell on)
2 tsp olive oil
4–6 tbsp real maple syrup
1–2 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp ground cumin
½ tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp salt
2–4 tbsp sesame seeds
A pinch or more of Aleppo chili flakes or cayenne pepper (to taste)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a bowl, toss pumpkin seeds with olive oil, maple syrup, and all spices and seeds until evenly coated.
Spread the seeds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Roast for 25–30 minutes, stirring once or twice, until golden and fragrant.
Let cool completely—they’ll crisp up as they cool. Store in an airtight jar.
