Sweet Spicy Pumpkin Seeds

Ingredients

• 1 cup raw cleaned whole pumpkin seeds
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/8 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon white sugar
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon white sugar

Directions

Preheat oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C).

Place the pumpkin seeds on a cookie sheet, and spread them out into a single layer. Roast until brown and crisp, about 45 minutes. Set the seeds aside in a large bowl.

Place the cinnamon, chili powder, and 1 teaspoon of sugar in a bowl, and set aside.

Place olive oil and 1 tablespoon of sugar in a heavy saucepan over medium-low heat, and heat and stir with a wooden spoon until the sugar turns a light golden brown color. Watch it carefully to avoid burning.

Pour the caramelized sugar mixture over the roasted pumpkin seeds, and stir to coat. Pour the cinnamon-chili powder mixture over the seeds, and toss to coat the seeds with the spices.
