For Friday field trip today, I am taking you into my kitchen to share a simple recipe for a sweet and crunchy snack that is ready in 20 minutes!
These candied pumpkin seeds are super satisfying. I make them without sugar – using honey and maple syrup to sweeten. With a little sweetness and a little spice, these crunchy pieces are the perfect little snack! This recipe is super easy…I pick up pumpkin seeds at Trader Joe’s, but the rest of the ingredients are items I always have on hand. You can experiment and switch out the spices to your own preference.
It is too bad that most people only think of pumpkin seeds around Halloween, because they are delicious any time of the year! At Halloween, these pumpkin seed snacks serve as a great substitute for the traditional Halloween candy, but they are also fun and easy snack to package up as a Thanksgiving hostess gift.
In addition to serving as a great fix for a sweet craving, these pumpkin seed snacks are also a great garnish for that homemade squash soup!
Enjoy!
Have a wonderful weekend and remember to take pleasure in simple things, Jackie
