(from castro15’s recipe box)

Categories: Trader Joes

Ingredients

  • 1/2 tsp TJ’s Sea Salt, more to taste
  • 1/4 tsp TJ’s Smoked Paprika
  • 1/4 tsp TJ’s Ground Cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp TJ’s Ground Cumin
  • 1/8 tsp Cayenne Pepper (optional)
  • 2 Tbsp TJ’s Clarified Butter or TJ’s 100% Canola Oil
  • 3 Tbsp TJ’s Organic Brown Sugar
  • 2 cups TJ’s Raw Shelled Pumpkin Seeds
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp fresh TJ’s Rosemary Leaves, roughly chopped

Directions

  1. Mix salt, paprika, cinnamon, cumin and cayenne together in a small bowl. Set aside. Warm butter (or oil) and sugar together in a large skillet over medium heat; add pumpkin seeds and spice mixture to pan and stir until sugar is melted and the seeds are fragrant, 5 to 6 minutes (add a lid when seeds start to pop). Remove from heat, add fresh rosemary and sprinkle on additional salt (if desired) and toss. Immediately spread seeds out on a parchment-lined baking sheet and cool completely before serving.
