Ingredients

• 1 Cup raw cleaned whole pumpkin seeds
• 0.25 Teaspoon cinnamon, ground
• 0.125 Teaspoon chili powder
• 1 Teaspoon sugar
• 1 Tablespoon olive oil
• 1 Tablespoon sugar

Steps

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

3. In a separate bowl, mix together the ground cinnamon, chili powder, and 1 teaspoon of sugar. Set aside.
4. In a heavy saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Stir continuously with a wooden spoon until the sugar turns a light golden brown. Be careful not to burn the sugar.
5. Pour the caramelized sugar mixture over the roasted pumpkin seeds and stir to coat them evenly.
6. Sprinkle the cinnamon-chili powder mixture over the seeds and toss to ensure they are well-coated with the spices.
7. Allow the seeds to cool before serving. Enjoy your sweet and spicy snack!
