Health food stores, Hispanic markets, and specialty grocery stores carry pumpkin seeds. Toast in a skillet until puffed, but watch them closely and don't brown or they will taste burnt. Ingredients:
2 cups raw pumpkin seeds |
1/2 cup granulated sugar |
1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar |
1 tablespoon paprika |
3/4 teaspoon salt |
3 tablespoons fresh orange juice |
Directions:

2. Combine granulated sugar and next 3 ingredients.
3. Toss pumpkin seeds with orange juice. Stir in sugar mixture, tossing to coat. Spread in a single layer on a parchment paper-lined jelly-roll pan.
4. Bake at 350° for 6 minutes, stirring once. Cool in pan on a wire rack 30 minutes. Store in an airtight container up to 2 days.
5. *2 cups pecan halves may be substituted. Cook as directed in Step 1 until lightly toasted. (Pecans will not puff.)
