Spicy Pumpkin Seeds
Looking for something quick and easy to make with the kids? Something fall inspired? And maybe healthy, too? (Shhh. . . We don’t have to tell them that part.)
How does a batch of spicy pumpkin seeds sound? The recipe is simple to make, and, in fact, you might want to double it. Here is what you need:
Ingredients:
1 cup of hulled, raw pumpkin seeds (pepitas)
1 teaspoon of chili powder
1 teaspoon of cinnamon
¼ teaspoon of cayenne
1 teaspoon of sea salt
4 teaspoons of sweetener (or sugar if no dietary restrictions)
4 teaspoons of coconut oil (liquid, not solid) or other oil
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a bowl mix seeds, oil, and spices well and spread evenly on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil.
- Bake for 10 minutes and let seeds cool before serving.
- Enjoy!
Know what the second best part of making Spicy Pumpkin Seeds is? Sharing them with friends and family. Once they’re cool, you can fill a mason jar with the seeds, add a bow, and surprise someone with a little autumn goodness.
Know what the best part of making these seeds is? Eating them, of course! Make a batch today and celebrate the season!

Thanks for this post Amy and Patsy. I just researched how to hull pumpkin seeds. It actually looks fairly simple. 🙂 I may give it a try and cook up a batch using this recipe.
Debbie, I know you like to make things from scratch. You’ll love this recipe. I’ll let Amy know you stopped by. Thanks. Pat
