Honey-Roasted Pepitas & Sunflower Seeds
- 1/2 cups Pumpkin Seed Kernels/Pepitas (from The Inside Of A Pumpkin Seed)
- 1/2 cups Shelled Sunflower Seeds
- 2 Tablespoons Sugar
- 2 Tablespoons Honey
- 1 Tablespoon Corn Syrup
- 1 teaspoon Olive Oil
- 1/2 teaspoons Kosher Salt
- Additional Salt And Sugar For Sprinkling Over Top, If Desired
- Preheat your oven to 325 F. Place your seeds on a rimmed baking sheet, spread them out in a single layer and roast them for 5-7 minutes in the oven.
- Check on them and shake them about halfway through.
- Be careful and make sure that they dont burn.
- You want them to take on a golden hue.
- They puff up a tiny bit and become more crunchy.
- Test one to see what I mean.
- When done, remove pan from the oven, pour the seeds from the baking sheet into a bowl, line the baking sheet with a piece of parchment paper then return the seeds to the parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
- Set aside.
- Combine the sugar, honey, corn syrup, olive oil and salt in a small pot and bring to a boil.
- Then stir and boil it for another 3-4 minutes.
- Remove from heat.
- Drizzle the sugar mixture over the seeds, tossing them about to coat.
- Sprinkle a couple pinches of sugar over top (and a pinch or two of salt if you want it salty) and allow it to cool completely.
- Break it apart and enjoy!
- Colleens notes: As you can see I added in some dried cranberries after it was made and cooled, which is the way I like to eat it.
- Feel free to toss this with some of your favorite dried fruits or favorite nuts.
