For simple recipes like this one, I make sure I use high quality ingredients. In this case, I went for my current favorite maple syrup, Now Foods Grade B, and my beloved Simply Organic spices.

Serves: 1¼ cups
Ingredients
- 1 cup raw pumpkin seeds
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons melted coconut oil
- ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- ⅛ to ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt (adds flavor but can cut in half for lower sodium, or omit for strict paleo)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 300ºF and line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
- Place the pumpkin seeds on the prepared baking sheet and drizzle with the maple syrup and oil. Sprinkle on the spices and salt and stir to evenly coat the seeds with all ingredients. Spread into a single layer.
- Bake for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and stir to coat - the mixture should be getting a little sticky. Spread into a single layer again. Bake for 15 minutes more. Remove and stir. If you prefer them toastier or live in a humid climate, bake for up to another 15 minutes.
- Let cool completely before eating or storing.
Notes
Sweeter Hit: When made as is, these have a warm, sweet, salty flavor vibe. If something sweeter is desired, you can add 1 to 2 tablespoons of coconut sugar (or your granulated sweetener of choice) with the maple syrup.
